Keeping layer settings from Assy to Drawing

[ROK99]

We're on NX 7.5. Users will make their piece parts with the body on layer 1. When these piece parts go up to the assembly level, the drafter will move the different components to different layers for organization in the assembly file.

Then they make a drawing, and when they bring the assembly into the drawing file, "Layer > Original" is selected becasue they want to keep the layer arrangement they set up in the assembly. But it appears the "Original" means it goes all the way back to the component level - which is layer 1, defeating the work spent organizing components at the assembly level. The result is all components on layer 1, instead of what they did in the assembly.

I cannot find a setting to inherit layer settings from the assembly's "original" instead of the component's "original." Thoughts?

We've encouraging users to use techniques other than layers to acomplish this, but some old-timers want layers to work this way.

Go into the model space of your drawing, and then go into the assembly navigator.
In the assembly navigator click on the model file.
Look at the attached image, and you should be able to figure it out.
If not, then let me know.
