Part features referenced from other part features?
Part features referenced from other part features?
(OP)
I am working with an NX4 assembly and I've chosen to make a part my "work part". I would like to put tapped holes in this "work part" and locate them by referencing the counterbored holes in a mating part. Is this possible?
Thanks!
Thanks!

In some ways, this is a sort of precursor to a more general 'model in context' capability which will be introduced in NX 6.

If only because I think the linked points are absolutely the way to go. I have seen some horrible methods for this simple task, so much so that I'd occasionally prefer to maintain the relationships manually than endure the alternatives.
I've loaded 5.0.3 32 Bit , whatever was on the website last week. I'll give the new methods a go. I'm a little bit concerned as to whether there are implicit or explicit wave links created that may create a new raft of maintainability issues down the track, but I like the way you're thinking on this.
Best Regards
