Constantly updating objects whilst sketching

Constantly updating objects whilst sketching

Constantly updating objects whilst sketching

(OP)
Hi,

I'm using Siemens NX8. I was half way through modelling a new part when something changed in the way NX runs whilst in a sketch.
I start a sketch on a surface and for example select the rectangle tool. If I then select an existing point (to infer a point to point constraint) NX then updates the entire feature tree ("updating objects").
Once done I am then free to select the second point for my rectangle when the same thing happens again. I am pretty much having to wait for a full update after every click in a sketch. The only time it doesn't do it is when the sketch feature e.g. end of a line, is unconstrained.

My productivity is ruined because of all the updating I have to wait for! Is there a setting that I may have somehow altered to create this barrage of constant updating?

Please help!

Thanks

RE: Constantly updating objects whilst sketching

Have you made the changes to Site Customer Defaults or User Cust Def, because Site overrules group and overrules user? Also save the changes you make.

Another option could be that this setting is in your template part, but i have to look into that.

Best regards,

Michaël.

Changes were made to Customer Default. There are no options for Group or Site in my drop down for Default Level.

Where can I access the Template Part info?
