All - thanks for the help!
cowski - I think you're tip was the key for my problem. I was able to figure out how to reuse the sketch repeatedly within one part file. Now all I have to do is figure out if you need to also copy the datum coordinate system each time you copy the sketch as well. I...
So its sounds like unless I'm willing to use the deformable parts approach, I will be forced to make a new part for each version of tubing I need. For example, I would need to make a separate part file for each (assuming all the same tubing cross-section):
36" Long, 45 on one end
36" Long, 45 on...
Wow, thanks for a quick reply. I'm using NX 6. The reason I didn't want to do a Save As because the first part is already referenced in the assembly. If you do a Save As, NX wants to help and update the assembly somehow - which I don't really understand at this point. I won't have stock sizes...
Hi, I'm trying to build a simple assembly up. Basically its a frame made out of 1" square tubing. I'd like to create one file that is the cross section geometry of the tubing, then place it in the assembly 4 times. The catch is I need two different lengths for the width and height. How do you...
