Design in context of an assembly means that the assembly is the displayed part and the component you are editing is what?

In the context of an assembly within Siemens NX, when you are working on a specific component, that component is referred to as the "Work Part." This designation is used to indicate that this is the part currently being edited while the assembly is displayed in the background. The term "Work Part" signifies the focus of your actions and edits during the design process.

This distinction is crucial because, while working in an assembly environment, you can manipulate individual components without losing sight of how they interact with the overall assembly. The remaining components may not be actively edited, but they still provide important context for how the Work Part fits into the assembly. Understanding this concept allows for more efficient design workflows and ensures that changes made to the Work Part are immediately considered within the context of the entire assembly.
