NX9 - Create Detail View

[phillpd]

Whenever I create a detail view, the preview looks good but as soon as I place the view, the geometry disappears.

The only way I can get the geometry to appear is to change the view scale and set it back.

Bug ?

Set the "view scale" back to what?

Could at least provide a picture of what you seeing, and is you can't provide the drawing/parts themselves how about a video showing what's happening?

As in, set it back to the scale I actually want.

I have no problem, using NX 9.0.2.5, creating detail views on your model where I can see the geomtry in the view, irrespective of the final scale of the view. And while I can't explain why it is that you're seeing this behavior, there may be a 'workaroud' that does not require that you edit the view scale twice. After placing the detailed view, select the new view's boundary, press MB3 and select the 'Convert to Independent Detail' option. You should be OK now.

That works, also updating the view itself.

What is the 'Convert to Independent Detail' option, by the way ?

Starting with NX 8.0 we now create detailed viws as an associative view. This option breaks that link and returns it to what we did prior to that. Now the content of the views were always associative, but this now creates an associative link for the view aspects as well.
