wave linking in nx7
wave linking in nx7
(OP)
hi everyone,
cant understand what's happening with my wave linked faces. Look at the attached picture. have somebody experienced smth like that? all linked faces are associated (timestamp is off), but then if you change position of any component, all the linked faces moving around without any reason.
if it will be nessecary, i can upload here all my assembly.
nx 7.0.1.7 64bit, win7 64bit
thanks

Is there any solution, because we have a lot of models with wave links, so now I am afraid to open them ;/
Thanks

Double clicking on the white part makes it the work part, but I'm not sure I follow on the "simple drag it up or down a little". Are you using the move command to move the sketch itselft or are you activating the sketch and dragging the entities (it is underconstrained, the sketch entities will move)?
I have tried:
'move object' on the sketch - nothing moves because of the wave links.
activating the sketch and dragging: sketch entities move and update, linked faces stay fixed.
moving the white component in the assembly - no error messages, but component snaps back into place when I press OK.
Either I missed something, there is more to what you are doing, or it just affects NX 7.

So I guess my advice is to upgrade to NX 7.5 as there are NO maintenance releases currently planned for NX 7.0.

It seems that siemens released NX7 without any tests. It is total scrap(wave links, welding symbols, 3D centerlines, assembly constraints....).
We are part of big company, and we do not do upgrades then newest version is ready (NX2->NX4->NX7->NX10(?)). I think we are not the only users of nx7. Can it be true, that nobody experienced this before? The problems like that (wave links) cause very bad mistakes, that can by detected only in final assembly in the workshop. Siemens NX is expensive software, so for example, production manager do not believe, that these mistakes could be caused by so expensive software....
so its very sad.

NO one should have installed NX 7.0 without also planning to update to NX 7.5 as soon as it was released!
We tried to make this abundantly clear at the time.

Thank you...

I can't use both method.
After converted in assembly constraints, I can't use mating condition.
Anyway is a NX7 bug.
Thank you...
