assembl cut in nx 12

[bhel_pie]

I am using NX 12 with lot of assembly cuts to machine a forging component by using hide tool option check in. By this forging is my child part and maintain the BOM hierarchy. Later when I am using this machined part in a new assembly, the assembly cut tool (cutter part in machined component)comes in the assembly, which was originally hide in the machined part after assembly cut. This to be hide again manually seems duplicity of the operations and tedious one.

Please suggest, how to overcome this problem.

Have you set-up a Reference Set which contains ONLY the final solid? Is so, then use that Reference Set when you add the machined part to your final Assembly.
