How to find out where a component is used in assemblies (native NX)

Solution

Use the Where Used command to obtain the following information about the parent part files of a selected component:


- Part name
- Root directory
- Assembly level
- Number of times your component is used in each parent part


Note
The software searches each assembly part for the specified component. Therefore, this operation can take a relatively long time. It is only intended for use in a directory of a few hundred files or less.
 
Where do I find it?
Application - Assemblies
