Saveas replaces parts in assy in NX6
Saveas replaces parts in assy in NX6
(OP)
Anyone know a way to NOT have a part be replaced in an assy if I happen to do a saveas on a part that is current used in a assy model I have open? NX always replaces the part in the assy with the new number. I dont always want this. And our assemblies are so big I dont want to have to close one everytime I do a saveas just to make a new number.
Thanks
Thanks

BTW, why are you doing the 'Save As'? Have you made changes to the part? If so, why was this done in the context of an Assembly in which you have no plans to use this new Component in? After all, if you wish to make a change to Component and then do a 'Save As' and yet not wish to change the Assembly, just DON'T save it after doing the 'Save As' on the Component.

Instead of using a 'save-as', clone the needed part before you modify it, substitute it by the new cloned part - you have there the choice to substitute only on occurence of a component - and then work on the substituted part...

The alternative is to NOT save the other assemblies when you close them all out.
