One more quick question-- When I create a line in sketch and escape from the line tool, I don't see the endpoints and can't select them. I noticed in tutorials that the endpoints do show up, would it be some sort of preference? This is mainly affecting me when trying to add a constraint to the sketch; the constraint tool doesn't allow me to choose options before selecting the point that I want. Thanks in advance for the help.

Can you post a picture of the graphics window and part navigator so we can see what you are seeing?

When you say you've looked at 'tutorials' are you talking about actually opening a part file where you're seeing 'end-points' or are you just looking at pictures from a document? If so, could it be that this document/tutorial was from NX 8.5? I ask because starting with NX 8.5, line/curve 'end-points' are always displayed and are always selectable. However, prior to NX 8.5 the 'end-points' were only visible when a line/curve was being created/edited or when it was being temporarily highlighted as you passed the cursor over the line/curve. And when assigning constraints there was no feedback that you were picking the 'end-point' versus the line/curve itself, thus the enhancements that we introduced with NX 8.5.
