Component position in exploded view after replacement
Component position in exploded view after replacement
(OP)
Using NX8/Teamcenter 9...
When I replace a component(s) in the structure manager and open in NX, the new component comes in at the correct assembled position, but the exploded view does not update the component to the position the old component was at in the explosion.
I have looked at all customer defaults and could not find anything obvious. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

RE: Component position in exploded view after replacement
What I do before I replace the component is; in the exploded view I extract the edge curves of the body (that will be replaced) with curves, then when the body is removed its footprint is there.
Insert -> curves from bodies -> extract -> edge curves

The option also exist in the customer defaults ( search for "Maintain" and look under Assemblies) which should be active when replacing from TC. If, on the other hand, it affects exploded views, I don't know.
