adding parts in assemblies
adding parts in assemblies
(OP)
I have one one assembly file that after I add a new part to it, the part ends up being hidden. I have to un-hide it to be seen. This is an older file that I started with and we are running NX6 now. I am not sure if there is some preference set that is causing the added part to be hidden.





RE: adding parts in assemblies
I am in NX6 and I have the following toggled "on" under prefences > assemblies:
Emphasize, display as entire part, warn on drag and drop, preview component on add
The rest are not toggled.

If you have visible in view set at all then you'll often struggle. In general it should never be used in the modelling environment although it has some application for drafting purposes.
Make sure you unblank everything as a precaution and perform a part cleanup. If all that fails and you have an assembly riddled with problems created by earlier users then the good thing about assemblies that consist solely of components is that the components can simply be copied and pasted to a brand new file. If that method works provided of course that you're working in native then you might want to save a new assembly and overwrite the old one.

the mess was that when I added the component I was in the hidden / no show area and the parts added ended up in the show area while I'm in the no show
