Just installed NX8.0 problems

[chopper75]

I just installed NX8.0. I opened an assembly that I created in 7.5. One of the first things I tried to do is launch the "edit component array" command and the command does not seem to be there. I deleted all the instances of my array now I need to delete the 1 part that is left. In 7.5, the only way that I could do this is to delete the "array". I guess the array still exists even the the instances are gone?...

Also, how do I apply my role in NX8.0. I created my role in 7.5, when I select, apply role it doesn't seem to apply the settings that I had before in 7.5 (some keyboard shortcuts and customized toolbars)

Just solved first problem. I was in Modeling, not assemblies...

Also, my role settings are working as they should now that I'm in assembly environment.

Yes, even if you've set-up your Customer Defaults so that the Assembly license of Not releases when you close your NX session and restart it later, the first time you run a newly installed version of NX, like when you entered NX 8.0 for the first time, you will need to remember to actually toggle ON the Assembly option. NOW it will remain in effect for any future session restarts, per the Customer Default settings.
