Non-geometric component

[jirka306]

There is a few standart components in our tc8r if I put them into assemblie it shows nothing (in previe window there is no body), because they are non-geometric. How to change them to geometric? Where is the mistake, what is non-geometric component and how to change it. Man who created them was fired 3 years ago...
Thank you.

Hi,
If we right click on the component and select properties ..then in the assembly tab there is an option to toggle it off and on.(are you looking for the same)
Please check the image attached.

optionally you can use Tools→Assembly Navigator→Include Non-Geometric Components.
There is a very detailed description given in NX documentation regarding the same.

I have one more question about non-geometric parts, as long as this thread was started:
Is it possible to add an attribute to a non-geometric part so that the Component is Non-Geometric toggle is automatically on when it is put in an assembly?

Hi Jerry,
My guess is that this attribute (UG GEOMETRY with values YES/NO) cannot be set untill and unless the part becomes a component of an assembly.
Probably a little customization will do

Sorry my bad.I guess it the attribute UG GEOMETRY can not be manipulated manually even after it is added as a component.This remains locked and when the component is non-geometric then this takes a value NO otherwise it doesn't even shows up in the attribute list.
