(OP)
when i try to open a component as a different part ug gives me an error saying "this part is not a version of the original" this happens even if I clone a part from the same assembly and try to do an open component as. Is there any way to bypass this I do not understand why ug will not allow you to open the component as any component you want.

Thanks

Phill draws attention to a good point that you would do well to check into your load options. Turn Allow Substitution On, and Abort load on failure off.
Abort load on failure relates to the ability of NX to find a component at all and will simply save you the bother of opening an assembly if one or more components cannot be found. Found that is according to your current search path settings.
Allow substitution will stop you from opening a component as in most circumstances if it it turned off. Most sites have it turned on by default and in those circumstances you will receive the warning I described earlier rather than a flat out refusal.
