best way to add machining features on assembly

Hi,
We do many welding parts. What is the best way to add machining features on a welded assembly model? We use NX8.5.

Thanks.

RE: best way to add machining features on assembly

There are a couple ways, utilizing WAVE, and promoting the bodies.
I typically use promoted bodies because I find it easier to use.
Inset (pull-down) -> Associative Copy -> Promote Body
After the body is promoted in the assembly you can do whatever you need to change the body.
You may want to do a search in this forum for promoted bodies vs utilizing WAVE

RE: best way to add machining features on assembly

We generally use "promote body" as Jerry said.

Using wave only adds another level of complexity that doesn't really contribute anything.
