Hi, I have a wrapper function to simplify cloning assemblies.
This allows me to select components in my displayed assembly, and clone those components maintaining the links between them (but leaving all other parts unchanged).
The trouble is that on large assemblies, the operation spends a long time 'Finding non-component refs' looping through unwanted subcomponents. I do not know exactly what this is doing, but I'm sure I don't need it as it looks through unwanted files - I only care about cloning the components I have selected.
How do I turn it off, or make it look at only the part numbers I give it?
This does not occur when components are added using AddPart. I use AddAssembly, then manually set all the children to Retain, so they are not changed. I use AddAssembly only so that links are maintained between components, as AddPart breaks them.
I am using NX 1867 with Teamcenter.
Thanks
