Summary


Details

Missing the "Sketch Name" drop down list in NX10 and later releases when using 
Sketch in Task Enviroment. 



Solution

This option is controlled within Customer Defaults in NX10 and later by going 
to 'File -> Utilities -> Customer Defaults -> Modeling -> General -> Edit 
(tab) -> Edit Sketch Action'. Change it from the default of "Direct Edit" to 
"Task Enviroment". 
Now you will have the option to switch between sketches, as Direct Sketch does 
not have the capability.


NX9 and earlier had the same function located in 'File -> Utilities -> 
Customer Defaults -> Modeling -> General -> Miscellaneous (tab) -> Edit Sketch 
Action'. Change it from the default of "Direct Edit" to "Task Enviroment".


These settings in NX9 prior releases and the new Edit tab in NX10 and later 
releases along with many other settings are "Session" oriented. 
To determine if a setting in Customer Defaults cotrols the users NX session or 
new parts look at the right most column called "Scope" (found in the Search 
(Binoculars) or Manage Current Settings (Eyeball) icons). Users must have this 
set and restart NX to have these changes take effect.
