RE: lock freedom constraint axis
As an aside, I have to say that the constraint system in NX can be tedious to work with. It is getting better as I gain more experience but I feel that fundamentally it is not user friendly. It often is trial and error to find a bad constraint. I often delete failed constraints and redo them as it is often faster than troubleshooting.

Are you aware that in the Assembly Navigator, you can expand the dependencies tab (at the bottom of the navigator).
With this tab open, you can see the relationships between everything, including constraints.
Click on a troubled constraint, and the dependencies tab will show you exactly the parts to which it refers.
I find it very helpful.
Also, be sure to have the magnifying glass icon pressed to get the most bang for your buck.
The glass will show you constraints when you are viewing dependencies of a part.

If you re-read what you typed, that's tedious, especially when you consider the useability of Mating Conditions in this respect.

is a mess using bond or fix constraint on screws,pins,etc... in design process -> rework and cause holes are moving. Ok using component first is the nx7.5 way - works really cool.
Problem with component first I want to control the exact position to the edge (example offset 20mm). Tell me what I have to do ?

Pin open the Assembly Navigator with the list of Constraints expanded. Now open the 'Show and Hide Constraints' dialog (it's an icon on the Assemblies toolbar) and with the 'Filter Navigator' option toggled ON, if you use the 'Connected to Components' Visibility option, select a single Component, hit 'Apply' and the list of Constraints in the Assembly Navigator will be filtered to show only the Consrtaints relevant to that Component. With the Visibility option set to 'Between Components' selecting two or more Components before hitting 'Apply' will show you only the Constraints BETWEEN the Components selected.
