Moving Sub-Assemblies

Moving Sub-Assemblies

Moving Sub-Assemblies

(OP)
Hello,

I am somewhat new to UGNX2 and I would like to move one sub-assy from one coordinate system to another coordinate system. I have tried to select my sub-assy and then right click and use reposition. But it does not aloow me to select csys. How can I do this easily?

Thanks in advance!

RE: Moving Sub-Assemblies

Here is how I usually do it (I am working on NX1, but the process should be essentially the same). Save the current csys (coordinate system), set up my csys to the desired csys, choose reposition and select the part (or subassembly) to be repositioned, choose the reposition option in the dialog, pick my saved csys (the 'from' csys), press ok to choose my current csys (the 'to' csys), press OK, done! Of course there are many variations on this, you could use 2 saved systems, add offsets to a csys, define a csys as you go, etc, etc.
