Assembly Constraints and Arrangements

[cstauffe]

Is it possible to have arrangements work through expressions, suppression by expression, or by loaded feature? Automating wise, it seems that assembly constraints are limited.

You can create a mass of components and constraints and the components currently active will display the constraints as being on, but all of the other ones will display as being failed. I was wanting to suppress constraints by expression, but that does not appear to be possibly in nx 6.

As for arrangements, if you have an assembly with sub-assemblies, not all are visible at the same time, you are forced to have all of your constraints at the top level? Maybe someone can enlighten me.

You will have all visible constraints, including the failing ones. I would like to have it suppress the constraints or select an arrangement automatically, depending on what features are suppressed/unsuppressed.

Thanks in advance.

What about using arrangements?. By that I mean the function of NX called arrangements! Do you know about how that works?

Yes, I know how to make arrangements, but arrangements from what I see, cannot be automated? I dont want the user to have to select the arrangement every time...
