Using coordinates to to mate to the assembly in NX8.5
Using coordinates to to mate to the assembly in NX8.5
(OP)
I am new to NX8.5. Years ago I used NX3. I've also used most cad programs except for Catia.
My question is this; When creating a new assembly and then inserting a part into it, I want to use the assembly coordinates and have the part constrained to it.

Anyway, give it a shot.

You can also create additional datum planes in relation to the initial ones to mate your components against. This may work better if you have a component at an angle from the main datums.
I found it best to position my initial component to the datum planes then mate additional components to either surfaces on a prior component or additional datum planes.

That worked, except that I changed it to "Pref Touch". It then moved right to the point.
