NX10 Reference geometry does not show in top level assy

NX10 Reference geometry does not show in top level assy

NX10 Reference geometry does not show in top level assy

(OP)
Used NX8 some years ago, new to NX10........
I seem to recall that when you had an assembly with multiple parts open, the reference geometry (planes, Coordinate systems, etc) of the individual components could be visible and selectable to use for assigning constraints, etc.

I can only see the reference features I create on the top level assembly. I can make a component the Work Part, go to Part Navigator, and I see planes, CSYS, etc., but when I go back to the top level assembly, those reference features disappear and I only see reference features I created in the top level assy.
I'm sure there is a setting box or checkmark I missed, I am sure this functionality is there somewhere. How do I turn this visibility on?

Try changing the Component(s) of interest's Reference Set to 'Entire Part'.
