Re-position linked body 1

[cubalibre000]

Hi,
I model a plastic part (ABS material).
I need the same part made in PVC, so I used the assembly for create a wave geometry link body.
The problem is that I'm not able to mate the linked body, it stays fixed.
How can I mate a geometry link body ?
It's correct my procedure ?

Thank you...

Using NX 7.0.1.7 MP1 and TC8.1

Use the Wave Geometry linker instead.

Open a new part, in assembly add component, select the abs part, bring it in, click the wave geometry linker, select the abs part.
Turn off the abs part in your geometry tree, and assign material property to your new part.

If done correctly you should only see 1 solid body, and in your model history you should see a linked body feature with 2 golden chain links

If the original Component and the Component containing the body linked from the first Component are both in the Assembly in which the linking took place, while it may appear that the Components have been constrained relative to each other, your picture shows that the second Component is fully constrained, in reality the BODY inside the second Component will not move since it's spatial orientation and location are still being controlled by the Assembly itself. That's how Wave Linking works.

What you need to do is create a totally NEW Assembly and then add BOTH Components to this Assembly. Now you can position them relative to each other in any way that you wish.
