Assembly EXPORT to customer
Assembly EXPORT to customer
(OP)
Magic button time
or a slick process required
I have an assembly of NX parts and have a requirement to export the external detail ONLY to a customer using a altenate CAD package [non parasolid based] (I am happy to consider STEP). I would also like to not show the internal detail. and to add more of a challenge solids would be nice, rather than a shell. I am sure this is not a crazy request and that someone out there has passed this way before. I am using NX7.5.3.3 MP1 but am a little new to some functionality and maybe missing a trick.
help would be appreciated

The STEP file will only have the shape, no construction details.

Assemblies -> Advanced -> Simplify Assembly...
However, if yor're only looking for a conservative 'armature' to be used for space planning or 'packaging' then...
Assemblies -> Advanced -> Wrap Assembly...
...may be something you may wish to look at since it's very quick and easy to use.

It's the 'Linked Exterior' which produces a series of sheet bodies which may or may not be easily 'sewen' into a final solid.

thanks for the inputs ... i have taken a look at
Assemblies -> Advanced -> Simplify Assembly...
and that is exactly what i need . sufficient automation on the complex parts with some level of control on extactly what i ship.
thanks to all for your help.
I am all set for now
