    Models in Teamcenter 8.1 with NX 7.5

    Hello, I am using Teamcenter to manage my data. I would like to add a part or model to an assembly as a reference component but I don't want to create an item to hold it. I know I can create a solid body in the assembly but I am looking for a better alternative. Thanks

    Replace the model reference to the drawing

    Hello, I started creating my drawings in the same file as the model. A Siemens representative has suggested, for good reason, to create a seperate drawing file that references the model. Can anyone tell me how I can "disassemble" my files and have my current drawings reference an external...
