Assy Constraints
Assy Constraints
(OP)
I am attempting to add a customers component (NX4.0.4.2) to a tooling assy (NX6.0.2.8) using assembly constraints. When I try to pick a cylindrical surface on the customer part, the entire component highlights and nothing can be picked.
It is probably just an oversite on my part but it is driving me crazy, as I really don't want to manually position the part (first of several).
Any insite into what I'm overlooking will be greatly appreciated.

I'm sure that the surface in question is cylindrical, but I'm not sure that the customer included the solid in the reference set that I used.

Once I get the component properly constrained, I can replace it with another simialr componet with no apparent problems.

I'm starting to feel like a noob with this stuff.
Now, within the customer file, I am attempting to create a new reference set with only a few entities. When I pick the "new" icon, everything visible is selected, and I am unable to unselect anything (shift-select if I remember correctly). Any insight greatly appreciated.

RE: Assy Constraints
I just can't quite see how to duplicate your problem. What I might suggest is presuming that your customer's file and your are not something you can share then I can only think that it would probably help you as much as anyone to attempt using simple geometry to duplicate the problem with two other files and post it here. By the time you have done so, and if you haven't already discovered the cause in the process, I would think that others might at least be able to see the problem as opposed to guessing why it might be, which is where I find myself at present after reading of your travails.

I have managed a work around, and have to move on. I would have liked the luxury of investigating this further.

This may or may not be related to one of your problems.
