Move Object - Assembly Context

[phillpd]

NX 6.0.5.3

I have an assembly. At the assembly level, I have created some 'basic curves' (a rectangle).

Using Move Object, I want to rotate the rectangle, selecting geometry within the assembly to define the axis point. I can't select anything, as the selection scope is set to 'within work part only'.

Am I missing a setting ?

Without resorting to extracting geometry, is this possible with Move Object, or do I have to re-enable the legacy Transform ?

I think your assembly components may be only partially loaded.
File > > options > assembly load options > toggle off "use partial loading > in the ANT, rmc pick top level and "open - assembly"

. . . actually, I don't think that will help. You may need to do a WAVE link, or "promote body"

I have to say, I find that an unbelievable oversight.

Extracted geometry it is then.

I agree.
