Delete a Component From a Part Family
Delete a Component From a Part Family
(OP)
I've got one part in my NX 8.5 Part Family that I'd like to delete. How do I do this? I could delete it from TeamCenter 9 but not the spreadsheet of my part family.
Thanks,
Matthew

It's been created already. It's in the spreadsheet, it's in TeamCenter... It needs to be gone before someone tries to use it.

Any idea why the spreadsheet retains the component?

Yes I did. That's what so perplexing. It seems like it should be a fairly simple operation.
I selected the row in Excel and used a right-click delete. After that I saved the Excel file and then exited the spreadsheet. Lastly I saved the part in NX. When I re-open the Part Family the unwanted row returns.
Bizarre, I confess.

Matthew, there is more than whats visible going on in between NX and Teamcenter, in this case obviously the sync between the NX part family and Teamcenter wasn't up to date until you ran the "Update Parts", NX had to revert back to the state where the row in the spreadsheet existed because Teamcenter still had this data.

That was the funny thing, it was deleted in TC. I did a TC search and that configuration could not be found. So the hang up was with within NX. Knowing that, I had to get into the 'mind' of NX and realized that there had to be more buttons to click to get a simple task completed. So I tried the "Update Parts" option. I'd imagine "Save Family" would have worked as well. Initially I'd thought saving the Excel sheet and closing it would have updated the sheet, especially since the part had already been deleted in TC, but one more step remained...
Kind regards,
Matthew
