Step 2

Select Assemblies in the drop down Filter as shown in figure.

Step 3

Once Assemblies is selected the features will appear, in this we have to make changes in Enables shape with component positioning it’s State will be Off we have to right click on it and make it On.

Step 4

After making the changes restart the NX 2312, then the changes will get applied.

Step 2

Go to Assemblies > Position > Label as Modeling Component command.

Step 3

Lable as Modeling Component feature dialogue box will appear.

Step 4

In the Select Component pane, select the components as shown:

Click OK after selecting the component.

Step 5

Step 7

Once you select Move command, its feature dialogue box will appear as shown:

Step 8

In Components and Faces to Move section, select the component which you want to move:

Step 9

In Motion section, select the components direction in which it should move:

Step 10

Here you can see that the middle component has been lifted up by one Inch and both the side components have been adjusted their dimensions accordingly, as there are assembly constraints between them.
