Using arrangements

In NX, you can define arrangements to specify alternative positions for one or more components in the assembly, and store those alternatives with the assembly. For example, a car door assembly may have different arrangements when the door is open or closed and the position of certain components may be overridden accordingly. Likewise, you can suppress components in a particular arrangement, for example, to hide the hinges. When you manage an assembly with arrangements in Teamcenter, each component in NX has a corresponding occurrence in Teamcenter and each different override or suppression has an equivalent absolute occurrence.

Note You cannot create an arrangement for a piece part.
