NX 8.5 Reference Component
NX 8.5 Reference Component
(OP)
I am currently creating a set of drawings of a sub-assembly in NX 8.5. I am wanting to add a part that is in the overall assembly to this sub-assembly so that I can use it in the drawings. So, I want it visible in drafting view but not visible in the modeling view. Any help would be great. Thanks.

->Drawing file
-> Original Assembly
-> New Component
I now have the part in the drawing file without affecting the original assembly but when I go to update the already created drawing views it doesn't add the new component in those views. Ideas?

One way to check is: Information -> object and select the view border; check the "part name" (it's about 35 lines down). If the part name is not the same as the drawing file, you've added a view from another part (the newly added component isn't going to show up).
