Linked bodys
Linked bodys
(OP)
Hello,
Have a part with seven ingoing parts in an assembly. One of the parts is a fully parameterized model and the other six use features from it as linked bodys combined with unique features.
How are the relationship built? File name? Id of the feature?
Can I rename the ingoing files and keep the links? How do I reconnect?
The reason is of course to be able to do changes and have everything updated by the links.
Use NX5.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
RE: Linked bodys
What command should I use to re-parent a broken link?
Thanks.

RE: Linked bodys
Can you define what you mean by 'control'?
As for re-parenting, you just edit the broken link like any other feature and you will be given a dialog which will allow you select a new parent object, either from the current assembly (if you're doing in context) or from some other part that is not currently part of the assembly that you're working in.

Assemblies -> WAVE -> Associatively Manager...
...and if a dialog opens without a flex-error, you own the module.
But if you don't your best bet is to select the WAVE feature and do an Information dump and it will tell you that status of the link and what is the parent part file.

RE: Linked bodys
But in the meantime I managed to fix the links.
Only one left that I am struggeling with here.
I have model A in position X with alot of features also used by model B (linked bodies) in position Y. Since I have updated model A (and changed filename) the links are broken. When I rightclick on the links in model B and choose "edit parameters" and choose the feature from model A it updates but stays in position X.
When I check the information in the link in model B it says that the position is decided by the top assembly part.
What to do?
