Hello Everyone,
I have a Type Point that appears in the Object Dependency Graph but not in the Part Navigator. I would like to suppress the Type Point but as I try to create a Journal I see that there is no option to suppress the Point. I can see that if I try to suppress another object the suppress command appears right bellow the HIDE option but the command wont appear for the Type Point.
Is there anyway to suppress this Type Point? If I understand things correctly it was created using the SNAP API.
re: suppress point
If it is an unassociative point, it will not appear in the part navigator and you will not be able to "suppress" it, since it is not a feature.
You can create a point of this type in interactive NX by unchecking the "associative" option in the point dialog. When you create an unassociative point, it will not appear in the part navigator, but you can use it to drive features.

Is there anyway to re-associate the Point and suppress it?
re: point suppression
Why do you feel that you need to suppress it?
Re: Point Suppression
My marching orders are to suppress them. We have way too many of them. The application is running really slow and we know from past experience that we can suppress features to help with slow performance. We tried hiding the points but that did not seem to speed up the system.
re: point suppression
Unfortunately for you, the "marching orders" are non-sensical. The point that you see is not a feature, therefore it cannot be suppressed.
How many of these points do you have? Are you concerned with the performance of your code or of NX in general as you model?
re: point suppression
Are all the points necessary? If they don't drive a child feature, they can be deleted; this could give an even better performance gain than suppressing them.
