Insert- Associative copy - Promote (UG NX5)

Hi all,

Can anyone knows what is the use of "Promote" command in UG NX5?
How we can use it?
Please suggest.

Thank you.
Have a nice day.

RE: Insert- Associative copy - Promote (UG NX5)

'Promote' is similar to WAVE linking in that it creates an interpart associative copy of a Component, but unlike WAVE, promotions can ONLY be done in a Parent TO Child relationship inside an Assembly (WAVE links can go in any direction within an Assembly structure).  Also, the promoted body carries with it the characteristics of the Component whereas a WAVE link only carries the characteristics of the object being copied, since WAVE links can be anything, an edge, curve, face, point, datum, as well as a Body (so in reality you're not actually WAVE linking the Component, just pieces of it).  In the case of a Promotion, it can ONLY copy the body found in the Component and therefore does a better job when all you want is to copy the Component's body up to the Assembly level without interfering with the Assembly structure.
