Old I-deas issue years ago still Haunting us In NX (Focused Curves)
Old I-deas issue years ago still Haunting us In NX (Focused Curves)
(OP)
Years ago in the Old I-Deas days, there was an issue that when you focused a line (NX project Curve command) the line became super super long. (I-Deas master Series 5 or 8) So now with our parts coming over from I-deas, and now using NX, when you do a fit, all you see are these blue lines that are very long. Please attached. Any good solution to this issue? Also this really plays well with your center of rotation with your spaceball. This tosses your center of rotation all over the place.

If not, or if you can live with killing the associativity,
Somebody with programming knowledge should be able to create a program that trims away everything outside a predefined sphere.
i.e Sphere size = xx, center at XYZ, If line = longer than 2xx = trim .

Yes all of these should have sketch dimensions, constraints and or associativity to control our sketches.
It makes sense of why these curves come over from I-Deas.
Just curious if anyone else has ran into this issue?
I thought John showed a new enhancement in NX10?? when you rotate your model it rotated about the solid and not any of the extra lines, surfaces or what have ya?
Thanks for the feedback.
