Manage sketch groups with the Part Navigator
Part Navigator displays groups under the respective Sketch node and in the Groups node.
Right–click on a group and select Active to make the group active. New geometry that you add to the sketch will belong to the active group.
Drag and drop objects to move them from one group to another group, or from a group to the Curves and Dimensions node.
Drag and drop a group icon to nest the group in another group.
Select/clear the group box to turn the visibility of all curves/points in the group on or off.
Add and manage sketch dimensions within Groups.
Right–click on a group and select Edit Display to set the Object Color for all the group members.
Right–click on a group and select Ungroup to delete the group. The sketch removes the group, but not the group members.
Right–click and choose Delete to remove both a group and all its members.
d) Orient View to Sketch
Use Orient View to Sketch to orient the view so that you are looking directly down the Z axis on the sketch plane.

f) Delaying Sketch updates
Use the Delay Update During Edit of Sketch to delay updating the model from the sketch while sketching directly in Modeling, Shape Studio, or Sheet Metal.
You can then use the Update Model from Sketch command to update the model to reflect all the changes you made to the sketch.
Video
This video demonstrates how Delay Update During Edit of Sketch and Update Model from Sketch work with each other.
Why should I use it?
When you edit a sketch directly in an application, the dependent features are updated for every sketch modification you make. You can use these commands to streamline the editing of a sketch that has many dependant features.
You can first implement a series of sketch edits and then see the results of the edits. This creates a streamlined workflow because you update the model when you are ready.

g) Delay Evaluation
Use the Delay Evaluation option to delay the update of sketch constraints until the Evaluate Sketch option is chosen.
When you create curves, NX does not show constraints.
When you assign constraints, NX does not update the geometry until you select the Evaluate Sketch option.
Note This command does not delay evaluation when you drag curves, or when you use the Quick Trim or Quick Extend commands.

Task environment Sketch
Toolbar Sketch→Delay Evaluation
Menu Tools→Update→Delay Sketch Evaluation h) Evaluate Sketch
Use the Evaluate Sketch option to update the current sketch with the constraints applied, modified, or deleted while the Delay Evaluation option was selected. This option is only active when Delay Evaluation is selected.

i) Update Model
Use the Update Model command to update the model with changes you have made to your sketch. The model updates automatically when you exit the Sketch task environment. When you edit a sketch with Rollback, there are no later features to update so this command is not available.
Why should I use it?
Update Model is useful in the Sketch task environment because it lets you see the effect sketch changes have on later features.
Prerequisites
Set the following in the Modeling Preferences dialog box to make the Update Model command available.
Edit tab
Double-click Action (Sketches)
Edit
Enters the sketch without changing the current feature.
Edit Sketch Action
Task Environment
Enters the Sketch task environment.

j) Replace with Independent Sketch
Use the Replace with Independent Sketch command to replace a linked curve feature with an independent sketch.
This command will replace a WAVE linked sketch or a two-dimensional linked composite curve with an identical sketch that is completely independent of the parent.
Use this command when you no longer want a design to be controlled by its master layout.
Example During the design and development of a product, you may have a master layout to control the design of many component parts. When the designs are released for manufacturing, you do not
want the components to change if the master layout is changed. To do this, you can break the link and replace the linked sketch with an independent sketch. An additional advantage is that the replaced independent sketch has its own constraints that you can modify.
