Import an view of an assembly into a component drawing
Import an view of an assembly into a component drawing
(OP)
Hello !
I have an assembly file called ASSEMBLY which contains the components 1 and 2.
In the drawing of component 1 , I would like to import a view from the ASSEMBLY file.
How to do if I want to be associative ?
Best regards.

RE: Import an view of an assembly into a component drawing
If you have created a drawing for a component1, you have to do this:
1. click on Base View command (Insert/View menu)
2. in Base View dialog box, open Part section (first section on the top of the dialog box)
3. in this section, click on Open command and select the assembly, for which you want to create a drawing view
The reason I asked for the NX version is, because in some older versions, this procedure was slightly different. What I have described is for NX7.5 and later. I some older versions, there was a separate command for this. Base View was for creating views from the first part, you've placed on the drawing. And then there was a PartView command or something like that. With this command, you've selected new part and placed it on the drawing.
So, if you don't find the Part section in BaseView command, then search for PartView or something similar.

thanks for your answer !
I'm working with NX 7.5.3.3
The process you are mentioning is working in the case:
I want to import a view of the file 1 into the file ASSEMBLY.
But my today issue is the opposit process :
I want to import a view of the ASSEMBLY into the file 1.
It seems that there is a crcular problem for UniGraphics.
A solution proposed by one of my collegue is to seperate the model 1 from its drawing. So I have created a file 1-DR just for the drawing.
At that moment , the process you describe is working but unfortunately we are in a laboratory with 5 designers and the official rule is not to separate model and drawing.
If you have any over idea , I am still interested !
Bye

what you are showing is exactly what I need.
Do you have drawing separated from the model as described in my previous answer ?
Best regards.

by using 2 separate files (1 for the model + 1 for the drawing ) , your process works perfectly.
Unfortunately, in my laboratory (5 designers) , the rule is to have model and drawing in the same file. The only reason is just because we didn't get investment for the software to manage revision. We've tried to manage revision manualy but it was too complicated.
Thanks for your help !
Good bye.
