How to edit Sketch
How to edit Sketch
(OP)
Hello,
It is since long back i worked on Sketches in NX. I feel funny as Now i am unable to recall how to edit the existing sketch...
I have following questions
1. I have created the sketch in Sketch environment and then Finish sketch... Now when i need to edit that sketch i am not able to do...#
2. I have used the Intersect curve option in sketch but i dont want to keep the associate with the body from which i made the intersect ...so how to remove the associativity??
I am using NX8
Thx

Preferences -> Modeling -> Edit
...and just set the 'Edit Sketch Action' option to 'Task Environment' and hit OK. Now when you edit the Sketch you will be doing so in the 'Task Environment' which is the same as when you created your sketch.
With that in mind, if you want to create Sketches on the face of a Drawing, the ONLY option will be the 'Direct Sketch' mode. When in Drafting the concept of a special 'Task Environment' when creating a sketch is not practical nor even desirable so only the 'Direct Sketch' method will be available. Note that the 'Direct Sketch' method was first developed for use when working on the face of a Drawing and it was only later that it was made an optional mode while working in Modeling.

I find Direct Sketch edit ok for quickly changing values in a sketch, but for anything more complex I prefer task environment.
So I stick with the "default" preferences - Edit = Direct Edit, and double-click action = Edit (the item in "bold" in the RMB menu).
If you do click edit you will see that the sketch is active (blue checked pattern) in the part navigator - this means direct edit using the direct sketch toolbar. There's a button on there to send you into task environment aswell.

RE: How to edit Sketch
Thanks all ..
John:While designing in Sketch i need to take some sections from other body as a reference to design my model.so once my work done i dont want my intersection curve in sketch to have link with reference body.( Like catia V5).
I worked earlier in mostly plastic automotive interiors with NX. but never used sketch .but now i feel it is good if we use sketch also as and when required to create some complex sections..
or remove the link...
Thx
