NX9 sketch constraint pre-select
NX9 sketch constraint pre-select
(OP)
Q1) After preselecting geometry for constraining, is there anyway to get the floating constraint toolbar back if it disappears?
Q2) For equal radius and concentric constraints, I have to deselect the Arc Centre snap pretty much everytime - is there a way to turn the snap off permanently?

Q2) adapt your template part in sketch uncheck the snap arc centre option , save

Q2:
Use 'Alt' key while selecting the Arc.
Thanks,

RE: NX9 sketch constraint pre-select
Michaël, pressing c brings up the normal geometric constraint window but then the geometry has to be reselected.
Q2) Thanks both. Alt key method is good but has to be released between each pick else floating constraint toolbar does not appear. While playing, I found that if you select the arc with the outside of the cursor rather than the centre it picks the arc rather than the centre.
RE: NX9 sketch constraint pre-select
I find the disappearing toolbar to be fairly annoying. The only way I've found to make it reappear is to deselect and reselect one of the curves.

RE: NX9 sketch constraint pre-select
As for Q1), the only thing that you can do without having to start your selections over again is to place your cursor over one the currently highlighted curves and press MB3 as that will bring-up the full object-specific pop-up menu but it will include ALL of the valid constraints that you could apply to the selected curves.

RE: NX9 sketch constraint pre-select
For Q1, thanks for clarifying what I mentioned in my earlier post.
For Q2, that is just what I wanted.
Cheers.
