Creating Assembly with Components made from Part Families

Creating Assembly with Components made from Part Families

Creating Assembly with Components made from Part Families

(OP)
Dear Forum,


I am creating an assembly with components made from part families. When I replacement a component within the assembly with another part within the same part family NX is throwing an error stating, "The following components were excluded from the replacement operation: Part is temporary". Will NX not replace a component of a part family with another part within the same part family?

RE: Creating Assembly with Components made from Part Families

It sounds like one (or both) of the family parts have been created in memory, but not yet saved to disk. Replacing parts within the same family should work as long as the individual parts have been generated and saved.

Both the assembly and the part family has been saved. I am wondering if it is some kind of load options setting??

I got it. Have to save the top level assembly part before replacing a component that is made-up from a part family.
