Add auto reference sets
Add auto reference sets
(OP)
Hi all,
Is there any way to add auto reference sets other than those available in NX. On the basis of geometric filter or layers range (category) filtration.
I.e. Other than Empty, Entire Part, Model, Lightweight and Simplified Reference Sets
For example
Case 1: I want all geometry present in "layer 1" and "layer 18" to be included in reference set "Basic Model"
Case 2: I want all only solids to be included in reference set "Only solids"
Please don't tell me to use "Model" reference set for case2 because it adds surfaces too.
Which I don't want!
Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

RE: Add auto reference sets
Now for your other layer based site standards one option to change is when you add components to assemblies use original layers. That way when you want to view elements of your components that you have on separate layers then you can work within the entire part reference set and turn on and off the standardised layers for different kinds of geometry.
Beyond that and for fixing up existing components try creating a few simple macros that you can even put under toolbar icons if you so wish.

RE: Add auto reference sets
Only representation is not the requirement, I want to calculate weight of only specific solid in each file, few other solids were created in almost all child files of the nearly 1500 component assembly, Other solid have some other use I cant remove them.
Now "Advance Weight Management" gives you freedom to choose geometries base on reference set but unfortunately there in no option to add custom referees set list.
Hopping this will clear some picture, any clue on this difficulty is welcomed.

Hello John R. Baker,
May I get some comment or suggestions from your end, to have auto custom reference sets which can be add at later stage.

Now this may lead to us taking a new look at Reference Sets since there is no more absolute requirement that they behave in a certain manner in order to support lightweight models so perhaps some opportunities might present themselves. My advice is to contact GTAC and have them open an ER outlining what it is that you would like to see with respect to changes in Reference Sets and perhaps this will help give us some new direction in the area.
