Thanks guys - with the Allow Replacement option turned on, the parts do get loaded in session; the error still pops up though. Will saving the assembly with the replaced parts fix that for good?

Thanks. Resaving the individual components in NX6 didn't fix the issue, so I'll give that a try.

I've got an assembly that complains about 2 of it's dependencies when I open it in NX6 or NX7.5: 4222-245-71640.prt - Part is not a valid version of component part 4222-240-06490.prt - Part is not a valid version of component part These two components remain unloaded. I can open them...

I am using the UGOPEN API in NX 7.5 to try and automate the inspection of a batch of Unigraphics files. However, there is a file causing the following popup-dialog: "Features added in the Modeling environment may not be properly depicted in a flat pattern. Some Modeling operations may make the...

Do you mean through the 'Help' menu in NX? Going to Help->'NX Help' throws the error: "Unable to display help information. Cannot find the HTML file." Maybe I didn't install the help files when installing NX? (v7.5, by the way)

I've been using the NXOPEN API recently, and have found the comments in the uf_*.h files to be pretty good. However, I would like to search or browse the API for some functionality, and guessing and checking each of the header files is not the most efficient way to do this. Is there a searchable...

Thanks for the help! I'm wondering: is it possible to have a wave reference between parts outside of an assembly? Or if the assembly is needed to group them together.

I am looking for a simple Hello World on creating basic wave references between parts. Searching online brings up some pretty in-depth guides and discussions, but I just want a very simple introduction on how to create wave geometry references between parts. Any links or information?

p.s. I am using NX 7.5

So when trying to import a generic (the one I intended to be nested) into an assembly, NX pops up a window of that generic's instances and forces me to pick one. This is in line with what JohnRBaker said in his post. I've heard from a couple of other sources that "ProE is the only cad system to...

^ yes this is what I mean - at least this is what I think I mean. Would it just be a matter of adding an existing family template (generic) as a member of a new generic that I am creating? I guess I will try this out and see what happens.

Thanks for the input! Unfortunately, I am writing utilities to analyze NX data and nested family tables were a possible corner case that came up. The first thing I'm looking for is to see if it's even possible to do this in NX. If that turns out to be the case, then I'm going to have to create...

Hey. I've been lurking for a while and this forum has been a great resource for a lot of information about the CAD software I've been working with lately and was hoping someone could help me out: I know there are CAD systems out there that support nested family tables, but is NX one of them...
