audit constraint for a given part in assembly

audit constraint for a given part in assembly

(OP)
On NX5, is there a way to display the assembly constraints in effect for a given part in an assembly?

Seems that all the constraints are lumped into a single folder in the tree, and when you have an assembly with many components, it gets difficult to audit the constraints for a specific member.

RE: audit constraint for a given part in assembly

Open the Assembly Navigator, then open the Dependencies window and select the component of interest.  You will see the various relationships relative to the selected component in that window.  Now to see the Assembly Constraints, click on the 'Detailed View' icon ('Magnifying Glass' icon in the upper right-corner of the Dependencies window) and they then be displayed for the selected component.
