Thank you cowski, I managed to use DisplayPart.ModelingViews.WorkView.UpdateDisplay() but sometimes it seems to update the display to the first feature. I couldn't use the .DoUpdate method.

Dear all, When I try to run this journal, it should make the subassembly as the workpart, before the message in the msgbox displays. I cannot make it work. The message displays before the subassembly becomes the workpart. Can anyone help me out here? --------------------------------- ' NX...

@petulf This was a very nice approach. I will follow your steps. Thank you very much for the model.

Lockdain, thank you for your response, but I couldn't use it because I don't obtain the needed licence.

Robnewcomb, in NX10 it says that I need an "NX composite or Advanced Sheet Metal Licence" to use Fabric Flat Pattern. Lockdain, this tutorial is very handy, but unfortunately it works only for "developable" surfaces.

Thank you all for your answers, Jon, yes it would probably buckle somewhere in the middle, that it is why I couldn't unwrap it. It was telling me that the shape was not developable. Petulf, I am currently using NX10. Hope we can upgrade in the near future. I haven't been able to unwrap it...

Dear All, I could use your help to create a flat pattern feature of sheet metal body. I can't figure out how to make it flat, hence it is a surface with thickness of 1mm. I have tried "global shaping" and "flat pattern" without any success. I don't have a advanced sheet metal licence. Best...

Thank you John, Of course, what you say is entirely true. What I thought (which is probably wrong)is that when I constraint a face of the component "partA" to a face of the component "partB" that belongs in a subassy "SubB", NX places a constraint between those 2 face IDs. So, my real question...

Thank you John, Imagine that you could. What a time saver would that be.

Hi all, I know that this is difficult but I'll give it a try. How can I move a component from a subassy to another without losing constraints? Or within a current assembly if I go "Assemblies" -> "Component" -> "Create New Component" and select a component from the existing assembly, how can I...

Another issue happening to me: When trying to insert a component in an assembly, even though I have toggled off the "Preview Component in Main Window", it appears in the main window. My workaround is to toggle on and off the setting to disappear...

Maybe It is happening only to me but: When making a work part in an assembly and trying to select a feature, only the first or some features are selectable (movie1). If then I toggle on/off the "Highlight Hidden Edges" or if I select the feature that I can, it gives me access to the other...

Thank you all for your replies and your time. @Jerry1423 Thankfully it was not a graphics card issue. I do not know what I was doing wrong (especially when I watched how easily John Baker deleted all inner faces), but it was quicker for me to re-install NX and somehow the problem solved. I...

Hi. When I try to delete a hole face with synchronous delete face, I get an error "delete failed because the remaining faces cannot close the area left...". I've uploaded a video and the part. This was not happening in previous NX releases. Am I doing something...

Thank you John for replying. I am not creating any kind of reference set except the ones that are default ("Model"). As I checked the reference set of the subassembly was "model". When I display the master assembly, the parts can be shown if I click on them in the assembly navigator. They are...
