What controls layers in assemblies? (NX5)
What controls layers in assemblies? (NX5)
(OP)
I have been using NX5 for a year now and I still don't understand layer behavior in assemblies. What I mean is, a certain part feature, such as a sheet body, is put on a specific layer. But when the same part is put into an assembly, the layer of the sheet body will be changed. Why?

The layers of the components part will be honoured in the assembly.

In all honesty I don't use layers much. I prefer a more simple binary situation, like Hide/Show. Also with the advent of sketches being automatically hidden along with other referenced objects like curves used to create surfaces and solids, sheets used as cutting/trimming tools and datum planes, the dependence on layers is becoming more limited. Now I admit this is my own personal opinion and each organization is free to use the tools they feel are best suited to your particular task.
