Remember Matings : how do I unset it ?

[toniechang]

I have an assy where a 'remember constrains, has been set to a washer. Now, I want to mate that washer in a different way, but I'm always proposed the same old mating pattern ...
Is there a way to remove that link between the washer and its forced mating procedure in the assy ?
I'm using NX2.

Thanks.

Open your component with the stored mating conditions.

Goto File->properties, under the Part File tab you can delete all or some of the remembered mating conditions.

The easy way to do it without deleting the remembered constraints is to choose Reposition instead of Mate when assembling the washer and you won't get prompted for the Remembered Constraints.

Then you can chose the mate icon or select the component and choose Mate from the pop-up and you don't get prompted for the default assembly constraints.

Or... you can simply neglect them. Click through it and the component will be placed as if you would place it absolute. Afterwards you can apply wathever mating condition you want irrespective of the remembered mating conditions.

As such the option suggested by mjcole is probably better as it will allow you to place your component near its final position. You can then mate it afterwards.
