CAD Direct command


Use the CAD Direct command to insert non-QY CAD files directly into QY CAD assemblies without translating the files separately. This eliminates the task of translating non-QY CAD files before inserting them into an assembly.

To update any changes made to the parent/linked parent file, right-click a CAD Direct component and use the Update CAD Direct Geometry command.

To break the link between the parent file and any CAD Direct component(s), right-click a CAD Direct component and use the Break CAD Direct Link command. This makes the QY CAD geometry independent of the NX file. If you break the link, the link cannot be reestablished.
