Summary


Details

In a managed environment, assembly components can be marked as 'Reference-Only'. How can 'Reference-Only' components of an assembly be removed from weight calculations of the assembly?



Solution

 Components that are for reference only can be removed from the assembly weight 
calculation by performing the following:


In NX7.5.4 and NX7.5.5 only: 
1. Set the variable: UGII_OMIT_RFC_IN_WT=OMIT 
2. Re-start NX.


In NX8 onwards: 
1. In Customer Defaults, expand 'Analysis' and highlight 'Weight Management'. 
2. Toggle ON 'Exclude Reference Only Components from Weight Calculation'. 
3. OK the Customer Defaults dialog and re-start NX.


NOTE: If a subassembly is marked as 'Reference-Only', only the weight of 
geometry directly in that subassembly part is excluded from the weight 
calculation. All components of that subassembly are still included in the 
weight calculations unless each of the subassembly's components are also marked 
as 'Reference-Only.



Notes and References

ER #6848740 was submitted so that when a subassembly is marked as 
'Reference-Only', all its sub-components are also excluded from weight 
calculations.
