Summary


Details

When attempting to Promote a body, either individually or using Deform Component, NX returns the message "Selected Body belongs to a V9 Assembly-Cannot Promote".



Solution

The cause of this error is that the component being selected is from Pre-version 10 of Unigraphics. Essentially, the part file was last saved in too old a version of the software. 

("Unigraphics" is the name of the legacy product that evolved into NX.)


To resolve the issue, there are 2 methods:


1. Use 'File -> Utilities -> Upgrade Component'.   
    NOTE: This will only work if the component is in a Pre-V10 assembly.


2. If the first method is not applicable, the other method is to use 'File -->  Export --> Part' and export the file to a new file.  This converts the file format to the version of NX being used.
