Assembly sequence using constraints?
Assembly sequence using constraints?
(OP)
Hi guys
When doing an assembly sequence, is there a way to access either an existing arrangement or position a component using assembly constraints? Neither of these commands seem to be available when in the sequence toolbar?
Using NX 7.5
Thanks

I understand what you are saying but cannot get the sequence to run correctly. I have made sure that Assembly constraints are on in the Sequence Navigator but still have the same problem. I have attached the assembly and a movie to show what i am experiencing. In modelling, the motion of the seat is controlled by changing the distance constraint through a range of 0 to 295.
Thanks for your help

Thanks for the help.
Just to make sure I understand, you added the arrangement called 'Movable' because it does NOT ignore constraints? And the 'pin' component was added so that you have better control over the assembly, i.e. you can simply re-position that component and the other components will move as dictated by their assembly constraints? If I am understanding correctly, that makes perfect sense to me and I can follow the logic. What I cant understand then is why I seem to be getting a different result (see attached movie of the sequence in the assembly you sent me - presumably that is not what you intended....) Is there another setting somewhere that I have missed? Is there a different version that might be causing the differences? I'm running NX 7.5.4.4
Thanks again

Forgot to attach movie file

Maybe its 7.5.4.4 as opposed to 7.5.5.4?
I'll try the update
Thanks for your help

Must be a bug in 7.5.4.4
