RE: Previous and Next Views
When you have rotated your model?

RE: Previous and Next Views
Actually, there is no design modification, but only view moving. Catia remember the previous view and, if required, retrieves it. If we change our mind, next view will get us where we were before.
it is very helpful, I use this enhancement a lot in Catia!

RE: Previous and Next Views
There is one handy shortcut though. If you press F8 the model will rotate to its nearest fixed orientation (Top, Bottom, front etc...)

Hi this is the closest thing in NX that fit your CATIA description.

RE: Previous and Next Views
I agree, at my current job, migrating users from Solidworks to NX, I've been asked about a previous view command, and I'm not sure I ever knew it was there. User was delighted to hear about it yesterday, but with a spaceball, I still don't know when, or how often it will actually be used. I guess if you pause long enough, that is when the "last view" is noted?

Wouldn't be good if the Siemens architects would bring this endorsement into NX?

RE: Previous and Next Views
My personal opinion, is that I'd rather use memory for something more useful, since I can rotate back with the spaceball. Only on a few rare occasions, do I need to go back to a particular view, and then I'll define and save it with a descriptive name, for future users of the file. I personally just don't see when I would use it.

RE: Previous and Next Views
In my opinion, no. The use of a spaceball (highly recommended for any CAD system) almost entirely negates the need for "previous view". If there is a view that you use often, NX already has the ability to save the view and restore it at will. I'd rather the developers fixed existing bugs than spend time on an arcane feature that the majority of NX users don't need/won't use.
However, you are welcome to contact GTAC and open an enhancement request (ER) to voice your opinion to the developers.

RE: Previous and Next Views
One remark I often hear during Beta testing events. With each new version Siemens develops nice new functionalities but leaves older ones for only 75% finished.
Would be nice if they would put some more effort in finishing or further develop old Functions.
Good examples are Male Threads, Deformable parts etc..
