NX9: Geometry getting created on hidden side

NX9: Geometry getting created on hidden side

(OP)
NX9

When in an assembly and a child component is work part, if you invert show and hide to create geometry, the new geometry is always on the other side.

Hi Uwam2ie

Tried it.. Did not work..

RE: NX9: Geometry getting created on hidden side

I occassionally get this problem in NX6.0.5.3 and have asked about it as part of another constraint problem posting here about a year ago, but no response to the blanked component issue.
Frustrating problem...

RE: NX9: Geometry getting created on hidden side

If one in the assembly navigator uses the option "Show only" on a component, the assembly itself becomes hidden.
I have seen cases where new things then gets created hidden.
Tick the box of the assembly itself.

Tomas

Hi Toost,

The resolution , does not apply in the case Iam referring..

RE: NX9: Geometry getting created on hidden side

What exactly do you mean by "on the other side"? Are you talking about physically or are you referring to its 'hidden status'?
