To stop "View Preview "Completely while creating drawing view?

[ninjaz]

I am using UG NX 7.5.

I have enabled Delay view update and Delay update on View creation. Even though it is taking too much time due to the following issue.
Is it possible to completely disable view preview,before clicking ok in view create option.

Because it is taking too much time because of repetitive loading. When i change model view, it is loading objects for preview. When i change the scale it is loading again and when i change arrangement it is again loading and finally when i click ok it loads again.This is too much irritating.

Please any one guide me to get rid from this repetitive loading in name of preview display.


I-deas is far better in creating huge drawings really.

I have no clue if this will help or not but it's worth a try.
In the customer defaults you can set the preview style when adding the view to "Border/Wireframe/hidden wireframe/shaded". Try set it to border and it will not preview anything. The question is if it still takes the same time or not.
You can do the same switch while adding a view, RMB - Preview style, but then it has already loaded ( delayed).

Yes, you can change the 'Preview' style at either...

Customer Defaults -> Drafting -> General -> Preview

...and select the first 'Style' icon labeled 'Border', or at...

Preferences -> Drafting -> Preview

...where you can set the View Style to 'Border'.

This will result in you only seeing an empty rectangular 'box' as the view 'preview' until you actually place the view on the Drawing. Only then will the view update to show what it will actually look like.

Thank you so much John and Thomas.. Now repetitive loading stopped ..

But i wish to place an opinion/feedback here about NX drafting..

Those who shifted from I-deas to UG NX might have the feel that, I-deas Master drafting is better when compared to UG drafting module.

Usually, the upgraded software package will be more efficient and powerful from the previous versions. But why UG drafting facing so many issues .
Why cant they completely inherit the Master Drafting module of I-deas into UG.

Looking forward the comments from the community experts.

Well, you are a couple of releases behind...

We make improvements in Drafting and Drawing creation in every release and even more are being made in the upcoming NX 9.0 release.

Not a good answer to your wishes but maybe a little explanation on why it's not there...
I-deas and NX have completely different architecture , you cannot simply take a piece of
I-deas and plug in to NX, every object has a completely different description etc. It's like trying to replace the jet engine of an aircraft with an engine from a car, nothing matches.
So what is done, in steps, is rewrite corresponding functionality in NX.

I don't know if you remember this but many years ago in I-deas, there was Iges (?) export the model to do the drawings in I-deas (!) When the I-deas Master series was introduced, it did not have a drafting application and the drawings were made in the older version of I-deas.
