Hi All

RE: using assemblies cloning in NX-2
Define exceptions for those parts that should be treated other than the default action (clone, retain, replace).
Do you want to keep the name of the top-assembly (retain) ?
This is not possible, if you assign a clone to a component in an assembly, the assembly itself will be assigned clone automatically.

RE: using assemblies cloning in NX-2
I have found cloning assemblies under the same name to be an invaluable tool when creating different versions, for file management and for preparing sub-sets for vendors. I have a free utility ("Save All As") posted on SolidNX.com that will allow you to save the active assembly (or loaded parts) under the same name but into a different directory.

We downloaded your utility but when we tried to run it UG told us we needed an add-on called UG-open.
Is that the case? Or is there some way around spending AU$20000.
As you probably gathered we are relatively new to UG.
