Any way to find what assembly is used by a part.
Any way to find what assembly is used by a part.
(OP)
There are several custom washers that we make that can be interchanged with many assembly. Right now we just type it down on the washer print and keep reving it with a new assembly. Is there anyway to find when you open a washer part to find what assemblie(s) it would belong to? using nx5. if it can't be done in there what other software could do it?

This is a common function handled by PLM software. Even if you don't use PLM, you should have some sort of database system that keeps track of your BOM's, perhaps you can get at the information with a custom query.

This is the type of thing that I may do before going to lunch, so that I can see the results when I get back, because it can take a while.
When first trying this out you may want to limit the search to a single directory (or folder), to see how long it will take.
Are you using TeamCenter?

I've been using it now for a couple of years and it works great, and it has never caused any problems that I'm aware of (DISCALIMER: I have NO interest, one way or the other, with the developer of this utility).
