NX7.5 "Part is locked and cannot be updated" When Adding Constraints
NX7.5 "Part is locked and cannot be updated" When Adding Constraints
(OP)
I have a sub-assembly to which I am trying to constrain 2 fasteners. Previously I used assembly constraints with no problem. Now the constraints have gone out of date. When I try to edit the constraints, or even delete them and create new constraints I get the error message "Part is locked and cannot be updated". The part is not read-only.
What is "locking" my part and how do I "unlock" it?
Thanks,
Jeff

Have you done any wave linking in the assembly also? Also what version of NX are you using?
Please check Assemblies/Wave /Associativity Manager settings too(delay Assembly constraint Updates).Besides this do a cursory check if any component is in frozen state.
