Layers Issue
Layers Issue
(OP)
Hello,
I use layers to separate components in an assembly. I also use existing models and save as for new models. I noticed that if I assign a new layer name that is identical to an existing layer that I've named, then after that moment, when you change either layer's name, they both change. How do I separate that relationship? Using NX9
Thanks,
Brent

RE: Layers Issue
If you want to separate out layers that belong to the same category, you will need to create a new category, remove the layer from the old category, and add it to the new one. Turning on the "category display" option may help you visualize what's happening.

RE: Layers Issue
John - I know you are correct. Our group is not utilizing UG as effectively as we could, and being new, this is how we are trained to do it here; however, with what you mention, this is something I need to learn how to do, so that I can approach every design in this method. We design custom fixtures for every job; however, I am certain that we could have components that could be easily modified and then saved as a different component, then use these components in assembling the fixture. I'm not sure how to approach beginning this new way of designing yet (new meaning, for our group).
