NX6 Assembly error

NX6 Assembly error

NX6 Assembly error

(OP)
I got this typical error when loading a certain assembly in NX6:
"Failed to find file using current search options, part left unloaded"
The problem is that there is no components by those names in my assembly.
I had to rename some of the components, and the old file name is being listed as not being able to find, even though the newly named component is listed properly in the tree.
So how can I stop this error from coming up?

RE: NX6 Assembly error

Did you edit the 'name' of the Component in the contex of the Assembly or did you do a Save-As on the Component part?

RE: NX6 Assembly error

(OP)
I see what happened.
The issue is with the assembly constraints.
The components of a subassembly were renamed without the top level assembly opened.
There were assembly constraints in the main assembly to some of those renamed components, which it (the main assembly) could not find.
I had to redefine those assembly constraints and everything was fine . . . it was a bit of a pain, but I guess I should have known better.
