Which object type cannot be linked using the WAVE Geometry Linker command?

In the context of the WAVE Geometry Linker command within Siemens NX, the command is designed to facilitate the linking of geometry from one part to another, allowing for the exchange and reuse of design features. The object types that can typically be linked include bodies, faces, and sketches, as these elements contain geometric data that can be represented externally for reference or assembly purposes.

When it comes to components, these are higher-level entities within a CAD assembly structure, representing a complete part or subassembly rather than just geometric features. Unlike bodies, faces, and sketches—which are the basic building blocks of geometry—components generally encapsulate multiple bodies and their associated features and constraints. This makes them less suitable for direct linking with the WAVE Geometry Linker, as the command is better suited for more granular geometrical references rather than complete components. Thus, components cannot be directly linked, limiting the functionality of the WAVE Geometry Linker in this regard.
