Firstly by Pack and Go which basically is a refined Save As, creating a duplicate assembly Secondly by creating a derived part. For analysis, this is typically done by deriving a fabrication assembly into a single part...

    I am investigating whether it is possible in NX to get the same functionality that we currently get in Inventor from the use of Levels of Detail (LoD). So each assembly can have a number of LoDs assigned to it which control what components or sub-assemblies are active or suppressed. As a basic...
