WAVE Linker
WAVE Linker
(OP)
Hi all,
We are currently working to standards laid out by our customer, and we have to use an environment, which has been set up, which includes seed files, drawing borders etc etc.
My question is, we are not allowed to use WAVE Linker, once upon a time we had an assembly you make the part workable and then link in using WAVE linker a surface/curve or whatever it was. However since we are not allowed to use it, is there a way around bringin in surfaces from one part to another. Nothing is on the same axis so that doesn't help. The set up we work in seems to block anything to do with the WAVE linker. Even if i save my parts in this environment, and then open the part in a standard NX 6 session, i still can't use WAVE linker, it seems to completely block any use of it, even after a file save.
Any help would be great!

RE: WAVE Linker
Inset -> associative copy -> promote
What you do is bring the part in the file as a component and then "promote" it.
From there you can extract the faces, and do what you need with them.
"Promote" needs to be toggled on in your customer defaults.
Maybe what you can do is extract the faces in the original body, than have a reference set with only those faces (surfaces)in it, and bring that into the as a component, and "promote" it if you need to.

If you want to get geometry from a component to the assembly, make sure the WCS of the assembly and component are in the same position, then use File -> Export -> Part... to export the geometry you want. I would advise using the 'remove internal parameters' if you can, otherwise you may pull in a lot of unwanted parent geometry.

In the assembly, mark your work part active. Drift over the part you want to copy until your curser changes, right click select from list. Pick the bit you want to copy, then go edit, paste special, select the axis system you want to paste it relative to, and hey presto!

I used that a lot as well, I should have remembered it. I guess the pain of the other method made a bigger impression.
