Assembly Sequencing

[fighterpilot]

I'm in NX5 trying to sequence a fully constrained assembly. I can enter the sequencing workbench by selecting Assembly Sequences from the Assemblies toolbar and then create a new sequence by selecting "Create New Sequence" in the Sequence Navigator. After that however, I can't seem to find the camera, motion, disassemble, etc. picks on the toolbar. I attempt to do an Extration Path and I get a dialog saying mating constraints will be turned off. I select yes and then I get a message saying the Path Planning License is not available.

Is there a specific option I need to have in my software?

Thanks...

In order to use the Extraction Path function you will need to purchase the 'Path Planning' module. Since this function uses code licensed from a 3rd party and to whom we are obligated to pay a royalty for each seat sold, we could not automatically include it as enhancement to Assembly Sequencing without first having to pay a royalty for every seat of NX currently under maintenance.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

John,

Can I create any assembly sequence? I can't even find the camera or insert motion functions? Are you saying I need this module just to do the basics?

No, simple Sequencing only requires an Assembly license. I can't find any situation in Sequencing where those items are not available unless you have explicitly hidden them using Customize.

John,

I found the icons. There were buried under some custom layout I had going.

thanks...
