You could also use the "Constraints Navigator". Many different grouping options.
I'm not sure what version introduced the constraints navigator, but I find it's quite a handy tool.

Hi all,
I'm not even sure what this behavior is called, so I'm having difficulty searching for answers...
So I'll just ask.
Working in drafting(for example...), lets say you start the "Rapid Dimension" command. You start laying down dimensions all over the place, you're moving, you're zooming...
Here's that setting Cowski is talking about.

I don't think it's a setting, but I could certainly be wrong.
I believe it has more to do with whether or not you're using the "master model concept".
If your drawing and model reside within the same file, you won't see the links in the tree.
If your model is a separate file, and your drawing...
Are you sure it's adding a component?
Is it possible that it's just a link in the navigator?
The icons will be slightly different in the tree. See attached photo.

Hi all,
Can I turn the geometric constraints back to the NX6 workflow?
The NX9 method of choosing the type of constraint first is absurd to me... I like the method of choosing the geometry first, then having appropriate constraints shown to me.
In NX9, 100% of the time, I ruin my sketches...
The hole in the "Target" body is likely tangent to the end of the "Tool" body. The result is a zero thickness, zero area body. It won't work. It's called "Non-Manifold".
See my simple example attached.
Like Cowski said, extend the tube tool more, or put the holes in later.

NX...
Did you make this processor, or are you using a supplied post?
The first thing I would do to troubleshoot this issue is make a fresh post using Postbuilder.
Make sure it's inches, and use the generic control.
Then process your file and see if it behaves the same way.
However, if your post is...
You make no mention of cost limitation and quantities required. Those factors will have big impact on whether to build from solid or fabricate.
Honestly, in my humble opinion, that's a really, really simple part. Everything can be cut with off the shelf tooling.
Your hole is only 5X diameter...
*Update*
So, I made my tool list today. It's not too bad. Here's what I learned.
-If you use the "Window > More..." method described in the OP, you can get the solid every time. (see attached photo)
-After you "Save as", all you have to do is delete all the revolves, show layer 90, revolve...
Thanks Everyone,
Although unfortunate, I'm glad to hear that it's a drafting bug and not me missing something terribly obvious.
Looks like I'll be revolving section curves!
Thank you all.

Afternoon,
I just started into NX9. I'm a long time NX6 user and it appears the workflow I've used in 6 no longer works in 9(and I can't find a way around it in 9...)
My problem is making tool lists for the shop floor. NX has always been really weak in this department. Now it's seemingly...
If the goal is to stop cutting so you can check/change an insert, for example, there is a function for this.
Look in the "Non-cutting moves" and in NX6 it's called "Local return"(probably similar in NX8). That might help you.

Do you mean the selection process didn't work or the resultant toolpath didn't generate as expected?
I've never had much luck using "ignore members". I usually find another way to accomplish the goal.
