Remove Parameters

Remove Parameters

Remove Parameters

(OP)
Hello everyone!
I was wondering if exist a way to remove only some of the Parameters in an assembly instead of all. I know that Remove Parameters deletes every accion on the model leaving just one Body. can I keep some and delete others?

Thanks in advance

RE: Remove Parameters

Not that I'm aware of. Why are you trying to delete only SOME of the Parametrics?

RE: Remove Parameters

It would actually in some rare cases be a nice feature to have, to be able to lock ( i.e remove the parameters) from selected features.
"I don't want these holes to be changed" , If somebody then changes them they need to use synchronous and create new features which in turn can be identified.

Regarads,
Tomas

RE: Remove Parameters

Actually you can use Synchronous to accomplish what you want. Simply create your feature-based model, remove all the parametrics, and then use the various synchronous tools to in essence re-parameterize those 'features' that you would like to remain as modifiable.

BTW, starting with NX 8.5 there's another approach that you can take and that is you'll be able to 'lock' individual expressions so that they cannot be edited unless someone explicitly 'unlocks' them first. This way it will be easier to lock down parts of your 'design intent' while leaving other aspects of your model 'variable', as it were.
