Convert Parasolid to Linked Body ~ NX7.5
Convert Parasolid to Linked Body ~ NX7.5
(OP)
I am working on a part file that I had to bring a couple parasolid bodies into. They are supplier parts.
In the model tree, the option is available to convert the parasolid to a linked body (by rmc'ing it and picking it from the menu). No external file is created, it simply lists it as a linked body instead of a parasolid.
I do not see the advantage of converting a parasolid to a linked body, but I could be missing something here.
What is the advantage of converting a parasolid to a linked body? Can it then be constrained ?

RE: Convert Parasolid to Linked Body ~ NX7.5
And to answer your question; bodies, linked or otherwise, can't be 'constrained'. After all, they are NOT Components in an Assembly, but rather solid/sheet bodies in a part file, no different than if they had been created using regular modeling functions, only in this case, the imported models are just simple bodies with no features or history associated with them.

To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?
