    Features you wish NX had?

    A simple wish, the ability to add a background picture when modeling in regular viewing mode not have to switch to studio mode and in addition the ability to pick from a color wheel the background gradient colors along with the value cells. Thanks, Buddy.

    Remove all tree structure without exporting as part.

    Thanks, I use near the end of a design to reduce the file size and have a simple base solid to work with before draft and fillets. Sometimes I also just export a part and check the remove parameters method to save a copy, that way I have the original if I need it. B.
