    Subcomponent motion in assembly

    I have a question about how to allow components of a sub-assembly to move in a higher-level assembly my situation is this: for supply chain reasons, we get a subassembly of parts with links and bearings and sliders and rigid parts from one vendor and from another vendor we get a second...

    using arrangements or constraints to drive sequence?

    Hey Everyone ... I have an assembly that is a set of linkages and sliders and a shock ----> think suspension set-up. i have 3 arrangements made: 1) full extension; 2) 30% of shock travel; 3) full compression (65mm) all these arrangements are driven 100% by a distance constraint in the assembly...

    best practices for forgings ---> machined parts ---> assembly operations

    thanks for the clarifications! i think the best solution for me will be using a part family to turn on/off various feature groups ... one master file ... and as many as 3 subordinate files. does this make sense ... and would it be considered a 'best practice' in NX? thx geoff

    best practices for forgings ---> machined parts ---> assembly operations

    Thanks Ben ... can you explain why it is asking for trouble ... i am an NX rookie ... and am open to all advice can i make a 'master model' that designs the part (smartly) all the way to the 'assembled' state ... and then use Part Families to create subordinate parts by turning off feature...

    best practices for forgings ---> machined parts ---> assembly operations

    Greetings! I have a question about how best to handle the following workflow: Step 1: 'raw' part is created by forging this part will require some inspection dimensions and an inspection drawing for the factory Step 2: 'machined' part is created from the raw part the 'raw' part is fixtured and...

    render sets and ''Drafting Spline (Extracted Edge)'

    thanks everyone ... Tomas ... yes, ... that was the first thing i tried ... to just change the properties of the part ... and got the same result .. and thought that render sets would help. attached is a montage of the 3 images i tried to attached before. thanks everyone ... any help is...

    render sets and ''Drafting Spline (Extracted Edge)'

    Not sure where to pose this question ... so thought I'd start here. fyi, i;m running nx 9 I am trying to create some drawings ... and i want to de-emphasize one particular part. The de-emphasized part is critical to the assembly, but not part of the package created at the particular factory...
