Linking parts in NX
Linking parts in NX
(OP)
I'm creating a few bodies within a part in NX. Each part is a separate component of a part which has to have it's own print. Whenever I have to make a change to a body, I have to recreate an stp which is linked to the print and it adds to the work load.
I was wondering if there is a way to link the separate component part files to the original part file so I can update parts & prints on the fly. Kind of like "Paste with Link" in Catia.

Create drawings linked to your components then export STP files as necessary when you are done with your design. The drawings will update along with changes to the components.

So when we make a change, it's within the "assy" part file which is not linked to the individual component part file.
Confusing enough. Let me know if you have any ideas.

I don't know of any way you can do what is requested while keeping the models linked without having multiple files, unless you wave-linked the bodies into the drawing file and broke the links before delivering the file to the customer. To edit, you just re-link the bodies.
