Mating order in NX6?
Mating order in NX6?
(OP)
I'm having trouble with getting the correct part too move while MATING. NX4 ALWAYS seemed to move the part based on selection order.
What kind of "switch" or technique am I missing here in 6?
Mating is one of the more frustrating parts of this learning curve. I hope its all worth it in then end.
Again... TIA!

I've got to beat this business about which part moves though... makes it impossible to use at this point :(

Whats so vexing is that I spent a number of days working with the new constrants with success. Then one morning it all went bad because the wrong parts started to move on me.
Almost as if it's moving them based on a priority other than selection order. Something like part creation date of some assy thing.
Make nay sesne to you?

WHERE do I find that set of tools and get 6 to respect them instead of wanting to migrate them???
Sounds as if this contraints change is not an exactly an improvemant for me. I design tools and not product. So I use a mixed bag of mating, reposition and wave links to both "place" and manage changes within the design. There is NO time for fully constrained assemblies.

For your case I really think that Fix and Bond will help you along a lot quicker.
Use the dependencies panel in the Assembly Navigator (use the magnifying glass) to understand better what components are interacting with others and those that have no constraints applied.
Once you are used to them, you won't be wishing to have the old functionality back.
If a constraint fails, it's usually with good reason and isn't especially difficult to repair/recreate.

I just want to put a pin in a hole or mate two plates together in the Z axis. Strait forward stuff but it has to work at all times.
Thanks for the help!
