Drafting: Smash View - any pitfalls or tips?
Drafting: Smash View - any pitfalls or tips?
(OP)
I have an I-DEAS drawing that has been read into NX 9.0 for revision. It is all 2D - a piping schematic. Although the text can be edited, the curves cannot. The lines can't be moved, length changed, etc., nada. I've discovered, however, that "Smash View" can be applied to this original view. Everything now sits on the Sheet, and can be edited. Soooo, what are we getting ourselves into by using this command: Smash View? Can these elements now be placed on a new View just to get them off of the Sheet view, and is there any advantage or disadvantage? Thanks!

How did you "move them back to an NX view"?
If you convert them to model curves as suggested in my previous post, the curves will show up in the modeling application and will be editable as a "dumb" curve. If you would like, you can start a new sketch and use "add existing curve" to convert the "dumb" curves into a sketch.
So, I guess it depends on what you mean by "editable". Dumb curves are perfectly editable, but I think you have a "sketch" type of edit in mind.
