NX4 Update Parts list
NX4 Update Parts list
(OP)
I am having an issue with NX4 parts lists, and balloon fill.
If I put the blank balloons in and do an update parts list, all the balloons update correctly. If the part is saved, closed, and reopened, only a few of the balloons are filled. The other interensting thing is if I then close and reopen, different balloons are filled but not all. Any ideas on what is going on?

RE: NX4 Update Parts list
In your case to test for this try saving the drawing with everything set as you want and expect it to be. Next if you close everything then re-open with the load options set to "As saved", and the Default reference set also set to "As Saved". Then it should behave predictably. There are occasions like this when you may want to load drawings differently than you might modeling assemblies. Certainly if this works for you it is likely that you'll eventually want to set your load options for the components back to your normal method, which leaves you with one remaining test to prove or disprove that the reference sets have an influence.
Please let us know how you go.
