Active Feature Groups / Current Features
Active Feature Groups / Current Features
(OP)
Our group has recently upgraded to NX 8.5 (previously using 7.5). What we are finding is that when we make a feature group active, it now automatically makes that feature group the current feature. If you try to make a later feature current, it inactivates the previously activated feature group.
In short: I want to make a feature group active without making it the current feature. Can I? Why or why not? Thanks in advance.

RE: Active Feature Groups / Current Features
If the feature group is created as "floating", it will not become the current feature when you activate it.
If I remember correctly, the timestamped vs floating option was added in NX 8.

Customer Defaults -> Modeling -> Feature Group -> All
Also, if while you have the 'Feature Group' dialog open, you press the F1 key the on context help gives some explanations about these settings.
