    Well. Theoretically these dumb solid files would update only if they are loaded to NX together with a native files. This is how it works in Catia V5. You can do "copy" and "paste special with a link". The result of that is a dumb solid but only if you don't have a native file open in the same...

    It might be that I understand the concept of top assembly a little bit different as I've got my experience only from Catia V5. I have attached the screen shoot of an example of my product tree. It might tell you more than words. I would like to remove all geometry used to create sub assembly...

    Ideally I would like to get a product tree with the assembly consisting one level of parts. The parts should have the geometry removed and be linked to native files with geometry. What's important, the result should be the assembly file and part files as a separate entities not just one merged...
