Hi,
I’m working with Sequencing on NX5.
Is there a way to have the part name showing so when you see parts moving you can identify which part is it? Some sort of “autoballoon for sequencing”

Thanks
Gaddi
 
Well this will give you what you want, but if it's a complex (lots of components) assembly, it's going to be very 'busy' as it's an 'all or nothing' option.

Go to...

Preferences -> Visualization -> Names/Borders

...and in the section titled 'Object Name Settings' toggle the 'Object Name Display' option 'View of Definition' ON. If you toggle on the 'Work View' option I've discovered that some of the Constraint names are also displayed which clutters up the display even more.
