NX8 Section Show Cap - Body Color
NX8 Section Show Cap - Body Color
(OP)
Hi all,
is there a possibility in NX to set the section-cap-color as a default to "body color" instead of "specify color"? I did not found any setting in the customer defaults or in preferences.

RE: NX8 Section Show Cap - Body Color
However, it is a part setting, as opposed to a session setting, so changing the value here will not help with existing parts/sections.
Usually you would go to the Preferences menu to change the session setting, but in Preferences -> View sectioning, there is no option for the cap display...
Dialog memory may help here. Once you create a section with your desired option, press OK or Apply, the next new section should use the same values as the previous one.

RE: NX8 Section Show Cap - Body Color
the solution with the dialog memory doesn't work. The section-function doesn't remember the state of the cap-color-setting for other parts, only for the work part.
The setting in the customer default would be OK, if it works with seedparts in Teamcenter. What happens, if I change the customer default, reopen the seedpart, create a small volume, then section it with cap-color to body-color, apply and OK, then deleting the section and the volume inside the seedpart and save it?
