NX 10 arrangements
NX 10 arrangements
(OP)
Hello,
is it possible to synchronize the arrangements between the assembly levels? (at once, and not click by click to every single arrangements, is there a table or something for that?)
An example here:
In BgABC I have 3 Arrangements:
-Arrangaments1
-Arr_ABC
-Arr_ABC_Move
In subassembly I have also 3:
-Arrangaments1
-Arr_ XYZ
-Arr_ XYZ _Move
If I select the Arr_ABC in the top assembly, the Arr_XYZ should be also selected in the low level assembly.
If I select the Arr_ ABC _Move in the top assembly, the Arr_ XYZ _Move should be also selected in the low level Assembly.
The question is general, we have an Assembly with much more levels and much more arrangements. We know that the Top level arrangements can remember to the low level arrangements, in which context they have been used, but in this case we should show to NX every possible Arrangements click by click) we need a simple solution how could we set them at once, just like a table or spreadsheet.

RE: NX 10 arrangements
If you want to drive subassemblies with an arrangement, then that arrangement must be created at the top parent level.

"If you want to drive sub-assemblies with an arrangement, then that arrangement must be created at the top parent level. "
Not exactly so, i already wrote above: i can show to NX: which sub arrangement belongs to which top arrangement, and this information stored in the top level assembly.
My only problem is: this needs a lot of effort.
1. Select the top arrangement 1
2. Select every single sub arrangements that I need activated in top arr 1.
3. Save
4. select the top arrangement 2
5... and so on.
For this little test assembly above it works well.. but imagine that you have hundreds of parts, and sub assemblies and arrangements... Horrible.
RE: NX 10 arrangements
I'm with you in this hard work to do simple thing
I think nx can help in this work something like this.
When I come to select an arrangement nx can helped
in opening a dialog with a hirarchical tree of all the
arrangements in the Assembly tree so I can select
Witch sub Assembly arrangement I wantto see
Thanks for this post.
