model view clipping NX9.5

model view clipping NX9.5

model view clipping NX9.5

(OP)
is it possible to turn off the model views clipping forever someplace in customer defaults ?
I have no idea what the benefit is of clipping off a view while working on it in "modeling", but this is been part of NX (and UG) for as long as I can remember, and it is a major hassle.

Really? Forever?
It can be a major benefit when modeling large assemblies.

RE: model view clipping NX9.5

Are you talking about sectioning using View, or when part of your part/assembly suddenly disappears while rotating? Then you need to use fit to make the part or assembly show back up on the screen correctly?

When the part suddenly disappears while rotating.
I guess if I had some sort of control on what gets clipped this would be better, but it just clips what it want and when it wants.

Yeah hitting the Fit command to bring your model back gets annoying sometimes. I do agree.

RE: model view clipping NX9.5

We have to limit the volume of space that is being used to determine what to include in a view. We cannot simply assume that it's infinite. There has to be some limits placed and we try to update them as accurately as possible but sometimes, due to a certain chain of events, that is not always possible and so the user may need to occasionally force the re-computation of these limits by performing a 'Fit' operation.
