suppressed components and assembly constraints

Hello,

is it ok, that after supressing component I have red crosses in my constraints?
And what purpose of "Display suppressed constraints in graphics window"? Even after unchecking this, I can still see suppressed constraints in model space.

Thanks

Win 7 64bit, NX7.0.1.7 64bit

Hi eex23,
it's all normal as mentioned by John in other my question.
This is not a real mate error.
NX7 has only this icon for adverting an information status.
In NX8 they have create different icons for different status.

Thank you...

Using NX 7.0.1.7 MP3 and TC8.1
 
Ok, but how to identify "real" error of constraint? If I have a lot of constraints, so every time I must manualy check (expand constraints in explorer) the status of constraints?

 
In the next version of NX we are also adding a Constraint Navigator where it will be much easier to work with Assembly Constraints including allowing you to group them by many different categories including one which is 'Group by Status'. This will show you exactly which Constraint issues are errors or merely a warning or maybe only some extra info. And once identified, it will be much easier to match them up with which Component are these Constraints attached to and what their status is.
