Best practice for assembly reference set
Best practice for assembly reference set
(OP)
Hi,
I'm involving to create the best practice for our company, because we are in lot and every CAD user use her head to model and so on.
I read and I didn't found the thread where John Baker suggest to use an assembly template with only 'Empty' and 'Entire part'.
Can some one help me, linking this thread to understand the reason ?
Sincerely I like this idea, but when I create the drawing, the reference set of the assembly is created automatically.

RE: Best practice for assembly reference set
sorry for the delay, but I'm testing NX8 before to install in all PC.
I'm also studying the pro and con for some best practice guidelines.
Can you help me writing the reason why assembly doesn't have 'model' reference set ?
Another question is :
Better setup for sketch or plane layers or use hide command ?
Thank you...

RE: Best practice for assembly reference set
I understand you, but remember that the guidelines are for users that use NX from V11.
Say that 'Model' reference set in the assembly is not necessary and add a new template (assembly), I must write something very very incontestable.
Can you link me some Eng-Tips topics ?
Thank you...

RE: Best practice for assembly reference set
Soo, I have been adding the coordinate system to the Model reference set so it is available to use. I have done this in my template part so as I create new parts the Model set already includes the default coordinate system.
I haven't experienced any problems relating to this so far but is there a down side to doing this?
