Thanks for the really cool video! As a previous solidworks user, designing on an assembly in NX was always a little perplexing for me. This video cleared everything up for me. I don't understand the dislikes here. Thanks for the help.

Great Demo.Useful tipd and tricks. I had a hard time understanding the NX.. I was trying to force NX to work like Solidworks/Inventor

GREAT WORK

Many thanks for this one, i think i better understood the meaning and possibilities of the WAVE linker.
Just a short question about the last demo in which you saved parts as external part files : before this step, you told us that the through squared hole done at the assembly level would only be visible in such context, in other words it didn't affect the part files, that's right ? So to save the modifications you must export the affected parts to new files and they'll be linked to the whole assembly with the new geometry, that's it ? Just to be sure :)

In the last demo, I took a multi-body file (not assembly) and made it an assembly using Create new component and selecting the bodies to push into individual part files. Before that, when using the Assembly Cut, we created the cutout only at the assembly level. If you open the individual parts, it does not show the cutout. The bodies with the cuts are created only at the assembly level. If you save your test assembly to STEP, for example, and import back into NX, you can see how those bodies are created. Saving to STEP is just a way to see how the bodies are created as a learning activity.
