Open As Option for Assembly in UG NX6
Open As Option for Assembly in UG NX6
(OP)
Hi,
In NX 4, there use to be an Open As option from NX ANT to change or substitute components. Where is this option in NX 6?
Thanks

Click on component in the ANT > replace component

That's what I thought. I liked the Open As feature because it didn't displace my component orientation like substitute/replace tends to do.

The best way to do replace component I found was to turn on Load All components in load option and then do the replace component..

For some reason, the Close, Open As component feature seemed to work better than the substitute in NX 4. Consolidating features that do basically do the same thing is good, but funtionality seems to be a little different, in that the component orientation gets turned around. With the old Open As feature, component orientation was more controllable.

MB3 only changes the cursor from a pointer to a crosshair when it is over a component of the assembly. The tutorial that my employer has provided says to go to the Assemblies menu > Components > Replace Components. Components is not under the Assemblies menu. Components has nothing under it when I go to Customize Menu > Commands Tab and expand Components.
At first I thought that UG was blanking out the Components menu beacuse nothing was loaded in the assembly. I changed the folder path and UG has no idea where the parts are.
Any ideas?
