In NX10 now.
I have 1 level assembly. I have a group of 20 components positioned by constraining.
Can I move 5 selected components in one move command (with copy option on) and to have NX copy all of the constrains between selected components?
Currently I can copy all selected components and it orients them as they are constrained BUT each component is now loose and has no constrains to each other, and I have to reaply all constrains.
That should just be a check/uncheck option in the command to allow you to copy constrains between all selected components.
Am I really the first one to need this?

Thank you to the collective mind power on here!

Save the assembly as a copy ..this will be the subassembly, remove unwanted components from this.
Remove subassembly components from original assembly.
Add copied assembly as subassembly.

This way You can keep the constrains between the the subassembly parts,
and You will have to redefine the rest only.
