A SECOND QUESTION

[G1DESIGN]

Is it possible to show components of an assembly in multiple positions on a drawing

i have a table set up showing the object swinging from 0 to 90 degrees in 45 degree increments i would like to show it at its end position and intermediate position on the drawing

Assuming NX3, or higher, you will be able to accomplish this using Assembly Arrangements.

You could add the assembly to the drawing, if using master model format, multiple times and just reposition it as needed.

Never used NX1 or NX2, but (just) looking at NX2, Assembly Arrangements are available.

How do you want to show it on the drawing; 1 view per position, or maybe all positions in 1 view with it shown in dashed line font at the extreme positions?

 

[smitty239]

at the drawing level you could do multiple explosions and save the view of it you want then add that view to your drawing.
