Constraint Validation
Constraint Validation
(OP)
I often get this message when I am placing constraints in an assembly with parts obtained from a step file.
I can continue when hitting continue but it is annoying. How can I get rid of this?

The way I read the message: NX is NOT finding a product interface in these components when it thinks there should be one.

RE: Constraint Validation
You may want to consider looking at the customer defaults
"Assemblies, General, Product Interfaces, Assembly Constraints" and check to see if it is not set to "Allow Selection of Any Geometry" - such as "Restrict Selection to Only Product Interface Objects".
And, "Assemblies, General, Component Operations, Add Component, Positioning" is not set to "By Constraints".
That combination of those defaults might be contributing to the message getting displayed.

RE: Constraint Validation
Do you mean that should set it to "Restrict Selection to Only Product Interface Objects"? But this setting only applies to new parts created by the model template. So I guess this will not have effect in my situation where the parts already exist.
