    Sketch constraints in NX8.5

    I always sketch in task environment since I find that much more clear. Thank god it's possible to make that default...

    Sketch constraints in NX8.5

    I suppose I have to get used to the Geometric Constraints, but again the function isn't designed very good: Why does it deselect all entities when opening the dialog? Why does it deselect all when changing Constraint type?

    Sketch constraints in NX8.5

    Well, unfortunately this doesn't make things better. Suppose I want to contrain a curve to a datum plane. I then would have to switch the selection filter between Datums and Curves... This is just insulting. I am generally excited when testing out new software and versions, but after having...

    Standard selection filters is not that good when revolving or extruding.

    This is yet another stupid design decision from the NX development. The only real solution is to change your selection filter to "curve" since it's often useful to make several features out of a single sketch. Is it possible to change the default setting for this?

    Sketch constraints in NX8.5

    This post will be part rant and part a desperate call for help. Background (you can skip this part) I work for, what I would guess, is one of the bigger companies using NX. We have recently switched from NX6 to NX8.5. We have our own CAD methodology that must be followed for the models to be as...
