Hi, I am looking for solution/configurations in NX core or utilities because I recognize some annoying problem with disabling parts in assembly navigator tree + blank NX window after closing part. Working with so many parts or assemblies visible only in window drop down list panel should function in such a way that after closing one part in NX, the another part visible in mentioned drop down list should display in main NX interface. Currently every time when I am closing any part I have blank window – I want to make my job easier .
Next question about Assembly Navigator Tree :
After getting by right mouse clicking to DISPLAY PARENT >> part.prt (for example) , modifying, closing this part with saving (I don’t want return by DISPLAY PARENT >> assembly.prt) - my fresh modified box part (part.prt) in assembly navigator always is switched OFF… yes I can switch ON this part box but I don’t want to click my mouse every time doing this operation.

Hope I describe everything with more understandable way – sorry for my english [smile]

I am counting on your help guys ,
Best regards

In the customer defaults, turn on the option: Gateway -> general -> part -> change displayed part on close. This should take care of your first concern.

If I'm reading your second question correctly, try turning on the option: (customer defaults) Assemblies -> general -> work part -> maintain work part. This will keep the work part from changing when you change the displayed part.

Be sure to "OK" the dialog after making the changes and restart NX for the changes to take effect.

Thx Cowski - first concern works Fine!! Now my working efficiency has increased [smile]
But.. the second questions still not working [sad]
I had already checked maintain work part - so i need to look for another solution.
Mayby another idea why after closing ALONE part from display parent , this part becomes unactive in Assembly Navigator?
I will upload some picture for more details.

Best Regards

If you are truly closing the part, you will need to load it again when returning to the assembly. Don't close the part.

Ok, thx for help - i will try to get used by returning to assembly without closing part [smile]
