    Question New stuff in NX6

    Some of the new stuff in NX6 is pretty cool, like clicking of the individual ops in a program group, and the toolpath highlights. Nice. But, the problem I'm having is that if a certain Op is in a geometry group that has an IPW as the stock, as I like to do, the IPW will highlight along with the toolpath, obscuring it and slowing the computer down especially during rotation on screen. Have any of you ran across this, and how do you get the IPW not to show. I have been to preferences, but if you uncheck the box in there, the toolpath goes away too. There must be something I'm missing.
    Hey, why's it going over there?!!

    There are two options in the preferences and customer defaults.

    Display Selected objects - which displays the tool path
    and
    Display Turning IPW of Selected Objects - which shows the IPW

    Turn off Display Turning IPW of Selected Objects and leave active Display Selected objects to see only the tool path.

    Thanks, John. I thought I had things set this way, but still got the IPW showing when I clicked the Op. I will re-check this in the morning, and report back.
