Selection Scope NX 10 Assembly
Selection Scope NX 10 Assembly
(OP)
What is the difference between "Within Work Part Only" and "Within Work Part and Component" in the Selection Scope of the assembly module?
It seems to do the same thing, and I'm sure there is a difference.
Can anyone also tell me a practical application of this?
Thanks.

Assume that your work part is an assembly.
Select scope Work part doesn't allow you to select in any component.

Using QuickPick, I can select the faces and the Solid Body, but not the actual component itself.
So if I highlight a SolidBody belonging to a subcomponent using quickpick, and I press "Expand to Selected" (using assembly navigator), it won't actually do anything.
RE: Selection Scope NX 10 Assembly
Or you can use the pre-selection filter to be set to "components" only which will only allow you to grab components and not individual geometry pieces.
See below for images of both scenarios.
Is that what you are looking for?

RE: Selection Scope NX 10 Assembly
Thank you for the images, but I cannot get the subassembly components to display in the quickpick menu (in this image the head_o_ring, reflector, etc), only the subassembly itself (head). When I activate quickpick, it lumps the subassembly into one component and it does not separate it even with "Within Work Part and Component" active. As shown. When I have the component filter selected, it won't allow me to go to quick pick. One solution would be to set the subassembly as the work part, but in the case of a bigger assembly, how will I know what subassembly an individual component belongs to?
