Mate component on promote body
Mate component on promote body
(OP)
Hi,
as you can see in the video attached, I'm not able to add mates on a component that was promoted for machining.
Where I wrong ?
On the promoted body there are welds.
The license is floating and now is busy by other.
Can this situation be the cause of this strange behavior ?

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
RE: Mate component on promote body
I don't want to move the promoted body and I know that the promoted body is linked for all by it parent.
I don't understand why I can't select promoted body face.
You suggest me to open an IR ?
Thank you...

as i understood from your video, you are using nx7. dont you affraid of using assembly constraints in nx7? assembly constraints in nx7 has some bugs if you are working with wave linked bodies (and I believe the same could happen with promoted bodies). try to swtich to the old mating conditions and then do your mates.
