Move Object - Assembly Context

Move Object - Assembly Context

Move Object - Assembly Context

(OP)
NX 6.0.5.3

I have an assembly. At the assembly level, I have created some 'basic curves' (a rectangle).

Using Move Object, I want to rotate the rectangle, selecting geometry within the assembly to define the axis point. I can't select anything, as the selection scope is set to 'within work part only'.

Am I missing a setting ?

Without resorting to extracting geometry, is this possible with Move Object, or do I have to re-enable the legacy Transform ?

RE: Move Object - Assembly Context

I think your assembly components may be only partially loaded.
File > > options > assembly load options > toggle off "use partial loading > in the ANT, rmc pick top level and "open - assembly"

RE: Move Object - Assembly Context

. . . actually, I don't think that will help. You may need to do a WAVE link, or "promote body"

This issue has been addressed in NX 7.5.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Extract reference points ahead of time.

I have to say, I find that an unbelievable oversight.

Extracted geometry it is then.
