few years ago I worked for a company who used Unigraphics....anyone familiar
with this software? With Unigraphics you could set up "reference sets"....
Within an assembly drawing, one could select a part or group of parts as as
"set" (for instance, the rear section of a car frame) ....this set could be
brought into an upper assembly,(for example, axle installation) eliminating
the need to load more parts than needed ( say, the entire car frame). Multiple
reference sets could be set up,(example...rear frame, front frame, mid
frame...etc) allowing different upper assembly drawings to show different
parts of the same assembly without having to load the entire assembly. Does
what I have said make sense to you? If any of you have used Unigraphics, I am
sure it does. Is there any way to do this in MDT?

and no.....for example....you are showing the installation of a small
item....maybe a fuel filter...mounted under the frame of your car....you only
need to show the left frame rail to show the location of the filter. One
reference set inside the "frame" assembly would be called "frame rail - filter
location" or whatever you wanted to call it. When you insert the frame
assembly you would select the reference set you want in your upper assembly.
One argument to this might be to only insert the frame rail.....not the entire
frame. True...but depending on the assembly structure, this would FUBAR the
bill of materials...because the filter is bolted to the "Frame upper
assembly"....not just the frame rail. Or you may need to show multiple parts
of an assembly to reference the location of the filter...say the frame rail
and a cross member..... Make a bit of sense at all? I think it is Monday
again......

Mike,
There is NO such feature in MDT6 and none in IV
either. This is one of the biggest shortcomings in the two packages
IMHO.
The only workaround that come in mind
are:
- make heavy use of a clever subassembly
structure
- in MDT, perform xref/unload on subassemblies
you don't need at the moment
Both methods are far from the power of reference
sets (or configurations as named by others...)
Regards,

I hope somebody will reply after 9 years :))
I have a Dumb question to your Dumb question: What are the reference sets in UG NX, I work at a project in UG NX Electrical Routing and I am stuck, I dont know how to work with refernce sets, what they are and what they do.
