How to find a component of an Assembly...... 1

I am not talking about " the “Assembly Navigator”, (where commands pop-up list will open and then select the “Find Component” command).
I am talking about finding the location in the database of the parent.

NX has a "where-used" function that will search the given folders for the parent assembly of a given file. However, be warned that it is very slow if you have a significant number of files to look through.

NX ships with a utility called "ugpc.exe"; if you use this with the "-a" switch, it will report the "as-saved" locations of the components that the file references. If you are comfortable with some scripting, this might give you results faster than the "where-used" option.

If you think that you have accidentally made a copy of this part and are looking for the duplicate, I suggest using fast duplicate file finder. It will search for duplicate files based on the content of the file (not just file names/sizes). It has a free option and I use it often to look for and eliminate duplicate NX files.
