Assembly drawing with 2 different phases of of motion
Assembly drawing with 2 different phases of of motion
(OP)
Hello,
I am working with master modeler in nx4 and t/c v10. We are a forging shop and like to show our tool assemblie prints in 2 different phases of press movement. the first with the press closed and the 2nd with the press open on the same drawing sheet. Currently we work with solid works and the configurations work quite nicely for us. we just tell the view which configuration to reference. Our transistion to UG has forced us to use layers more than before so, i was hoping to make an associative copy of the assembly onto a different layer and use the layer mask in the drawing, much to my suprise you cannot make an associative copy of an assembly only parts. Do you know of another way? I was also trying to use reference sets but, can't seem to get anywhere with that. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you

Anyway, you need to give serious consideration to making the upgrade as there is no practical solution for what you're trying to do with NX 4.0, but there are solutions in more current versions of NX.

Really? I thought Ideas was being integrated into UG and that's why they decided to rename it NX?
