Show component array in Assembly navigator

Show component array in Assembly navigator

Show component array in Assembly navigator

(OP)
Hello Everyone,

does anyone know how to make the name of a component array appear in assembly navigator? When I create an array, I have the desired result, the given name shows up in "Edit component array" command window, but in the navigator I have just a bunch of part names, and nothing shows they belong to one array. I use NX 8.5.3.3.

Thank you.

RE: Show component array in Assembly navigator

There is nothing that I'm aware of in NX 8.5 that will help you with that. However, starting with NX 9.0 and the introduction of 'Pattern Component', which replaces the 'Component Array' function, there are provisions to list these in the Assembly Navigator as distinct items in addition to the list of the components themselves. However, unlike Component Arrays, Patterns of Components are not automatically given an explicit name, but rather you're allowed to append, in the Assembly Navigator, a user defined name to the Pattern items.
