Odd Icon for a Component in the NX 7.0 ANT Tool - What is it?!
(OP)
For those of you that are using assemblies in NX: Have any of you seen this icon before when loading a component into your assembly using the ANT tool?

Note that if you don't want to see the 'Suppressed' Components, you can just place your cursor over some 'whitespace' in the Assembly Navigator, press MB3 and toggle OFF the option titled 'Include Suppressed Components'.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Since this involves the CMM workflow you may need to contact GTAC and have them look at it.

As of what is causing this behavior????

ANT Icon is Purple = Non-Geometric Component
ANT Icon is Blue = Suppressed Component
Reason for the Non-Geometric SNAFU? During the CMM process, the Unit of Measure field in Teamcenter was filled in, which is a big no-no. Unit of Measure is to identify if a part is liquid/air versus a solid part.

So... if I have a part with that mistake, and I cannot change it for legacy reasons, other than the toggle in NX to identify a part as not a non-geometric - what other options are out there to deal with creating a BOM that does not show liquid/gas measurements?
