Hi,

I am new to the forum but I have been reading plenty of posts but I have had to many problems with the Nx 6 system to list so it's about time I join and start my own thread.

Its rather simple things just cant figure them out for the life of me nor does anyone else seem to have this problem.

But up until recently I was doing fine by clicking the Assemblies and click add component. Unfortunately, I click on assemblies and add component is not there. Nor is the Assemblies constraint add button on the bottom of my screen. I have included screen shots

I do not understand what happened just all of a sudden while I was working on the file the assemblies constraint button was gone and now I cant add a component.

Now when I also try to suppress something it states "cannot suppress constraint, not in Assemblies" How am I not in Assemblies when I am editing an assembly I just built not 2 secs ago....

PLEASE HELP ME!

Go back to your model,
make sure that you can see some of the objects that are missing in the drawing. Select one object and press Information- Object.
In the listing window, look for "View dependent"( View Specific ?) and
find what layer it resides on, and the name of the view.
If it is "View dependent" it will ONLY appear in a copy of that specific view on the drawing. Check The drawing what view you have placed there. ( Information -Object or Part navigator.

Imported drawings tend to import to a single layer/view. Reste all layer settings for your views to global, all layers visible.

In addition to the above suggestions, revisit the layer option you used when you added the part as a component to your assembly. Right click on your component in the assembly navigator, choose properties and pick the assembly tab; for the layer option, I'd suggest using 'specified layer' and choose layer 1.

If you had chosen the 'original' layer option when adding it to the assembly and the geometry is on various layers within the part, the layer masks may be hiding some of the geometry in the drafting views.


Also, it has probably already been mentioned, but you should switch to the 'entire part' reference set; or make sure all the geometry is in the reference set that you are using.

Tomas-I have found that it resides on layer 1 and it states "object dependency in unavailable"

Looslib- I have done this, still nothing.

Cowshi _ OK I put it on specified layer 1, updated all drawings and still nothing.


I am pushing now close to 3 weeks working on this *!#$@? thing, is there any other suggestions, I need this on my bosses desk by Tuesday. I am close to just deleting it and draw a close box of the imported image and just putting a note saying what it is.

Thanks,

Mike
 
OK well I started a new assembly and have to redo all my work. Cause only then can I get the dwg file to show itself on the drafting templates. So what ever go screwed up I couldn't care less about anymore. So this thread is dead and for anyone else who reads this with my problem

There is no solution...start over
