Hi everyone,

Currently working with nx8.5 I found a problem when working with top assembly with lot of part in it.
my template file to create new 3D file include a coordinade sistem or CSYS in it on layer 1.
When working on assembly i use to move object such as sketch, plane CSYS to layer 256 to clean work space.
but now in nx8.5 (and nx8 i think) the filter present in format move to layer doesn´t allow me to select CSYS so i cant move them to another layer.
GTAC say that the only way to do so is to disable CSYS layer ()60 or 62: but in may case i have cad file of standart part that i use from over a decade since unigraphics V15 or so.... most of them with CSYS in layer 1.

Ive change layer of csys for new files i create but old one would take age to change.

Is there a way to select csys so that i can move them to another layer when I´m in top assembly ?

thanks for your help

If it is a datum csys, choose the "datums" filter; if it is a csys object, choose the "CSYS" filter. I don't see what the problem is...

Hi....

Also make sure your selection scope is set to "Entire Assembly" (it's the menu next to your Selection filter in cowski's screendump).
