Merge two diffrerent files
Merge two diffrerent files
(OP)
I have only Solid Modeling & drafting module available with UG NX. I wanted to merge two diferent files to check the interference.
(The reason to use merge as we can use that command in Catia V4.)
Could you just explaine me how could i merge two different files?
Thank you,

RE: Merge two diffrerent files
If your end goal is to actually merge the files (and I'm unsure what 'merge' means in context of Catia - but in UG I would interpret that as having 2 parts modeled in 1 file), you can export 1 file into the other (File -> Export -> Part... I really DON'T recommend merging the 2 files, even if you think you want to, there is a 99% chance that you really don't. If you try merging them I recommend that you save a copy of each before you do it, so it is easy to undo later.

How about if you export a parasolid of part 1 and import that into part 2 (and vice-versa) to check for interference? That way the part will come in as 1 feature (unparameterized feature) and you can easily delete it out of your file when you are done.

I applied your 1st reply & it worked without having an assembly licence,
Actually, I am working on battery & one of the hose is passing from the middle of the battery, I am trying to redesign the battery by considering the hose passing through middle of the battery box.(eventually, we need to minimize the battery box to have clerance between battery & hose as per customer requirement)
I tried to subtract the hose to find out how much space i have left to play around but it says unparametric feature?
Could you just explain me how could i find out the
1. remaining space/volume
2. might be the coordinate where it intersects
3. Also how you will sove this problem in UG?
(FYI, I am novice UG user)
Thank you very much in advance,

Consider the TOP view, as UG has its own understanding means it takes the view by default.
In my case, all the components are far away from Origin as it was according to the vehicle co-ordinate position.
Now, I wanted to have a view as per my requirement like i created the plane near by that plane & wanted to have a view by selecting that plane.
Eventually, I wanted to select X & Y direction by myself to get the views not as per default. how could I do that?
