NX 1899 - Broken Wave Links

Hi All,

I've recently switch from NX9 to 1899 and have encountered one problem. When I want to make new component within assembly based on existing one I'm using "make unique" command. In the new component all the Wave links are broken unfortunatelly.

However in NX9 when I had "Delayed Geometry, Expressions and PMI Updates" at the moment of creating new part and then re-link one of the broken links, the rest of them which refered to the same parent automatically fixed themselves. Now in NX1899 everythink is broken and I have to re-link every single one of them.

It's really frustrating when you expect some improvements in the new version and instead it's getting worse :(

Could anyone please tell me if I'm doing something wrong, maybe some settings to be changed.
P.S. I do not have Wave licence in NX9 nor NX1899.

Forgot to capture my load settings in the video, here are the options that were in use:

Hi Cowski

Your screenshot seems to be wrong without interpart data and partially load.

I will look your video tomorrow

It also surprised me when it worked. Using the settings as shown results in the links being out of date, but not broken (as the video shows). When I used the fully load option with interpart data, the links were up to date even at creation.

Near the end of the video, I fully load the geometry component, which then allows NX to resolve the "up to date" status on the linked features.

Hi Cowski,

I saw in you video what you are missing.

First of all you must add a second Part_A

Then make unique the second one to Part_B

Hi guys,

yeah Didier is right what Cowski is missing. If you do "make unique" on all instances of the part it behaves the same as "save as" and all the links are fine.

But the point of the proces is to create two dirrerent components that have the same features (at the time of creation) and then you can work on and edit the newly created part.

Hi MyKL,

Development confirm to me that it's was ok until NX12 and the issue appeared since NX1899.

Wait and see now
