What is the meaning of assembly navigator position column icon that appears as a circle/black-circle covering a portion of a yellow circle?



Solution

The following scenarios will trigger this type of icon in the position column:


Scenario#1: 
When the constraints involved has the option "Arrangement Specific" toggled on. 
This can be done by Right-Mouse-Button over the constraint and selecting "Arrangement Specific". This does not require an assembly containing multiple arrangements.


Scenario#2: 
In the Component Properties dialog, under the Parameters tab, if the option for "Position in the Used Arrangement" is toggled to "Individually Positioned".


Note: Once it is marked as arrangement specific, and if constraints exist on the component, NX will not allow that position icon to switch back.
