nx7.5 component array

[helperug]

I have a small assy in nx7.5 and want use the component array.
I want to array to screws constraint positioned on feature arrayed holes. Now I want multiply them with the component array. I can select the two screws but only one screw is arrayed. Is there a trick is it a limitation on one component?

sorry new in NX

It works for me.

Could you provide at least a picture of what it is that you're trying to do (all I need to see is the model with the Hole Array as well as one set of screws assembled as desired).

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

I suspect that you may have discovered the 'trick' that you needed to do with NX 7.5 and older releases when using the new Assembly Constraints to locate the initial set of components. The constraints which always worked were the ones using the Align options. However, if you used something like Concentric it didn't recognize that you had referenced a hole which was part of an array (that was changed in NX 8.0 where now both Align and Concentric will properly establish a relationship with the members of an Instance Array).
