NX "Relax Relations" not finding relations

Summary


Details

In the sketch environment, even if you try to relax the relation of the fillet shape, you cannot relax it because the relation cannot be found. If you make the part by a circle, you can find and relax the relation.

Reproduced Steps:

1. Create a fillet in Sketch environment

2. Turn “Relax Relations” ON


3. Select the fillet

*** The relation to relax is not displayed.

Solution

The behavior is working as designed. A fillet is defined by having two line objects tangent to each ends and constrained by a point on the curve. In order not to spoil the fillet definition, NX is designed not to symbolize relations found by Relax Relations.

If the fillet part is perfectly circular, or if there is no line at one end point of the fillet shape, it will be recognized as a circle (arc) shape, so the relation relaxation symbol will be displayed.


WORKAROUND:

If you would like to relax a relation, please use the “Shake gesture" function (refer to the link below).

Notes

NX 2306 Series adds a symbol to represent fillets. (The purpose of this is to differentiate visually from similar shapes such as arcs, and it is not the target of Relation Relaxation function.)
