Problem Description:
=============================================================================
CMM Pro/E assembly issue with position override
Multi-level assemblies that are migrated from Pro/E always have at least one sub assembly component that uses an explicit override for the positioning. Due to this override all constraints from the sub assembly are visible in the constraints section of the top assembly.

Versions:
=============================================================================
Managed Mode: No
NX: 8.5.3
CMM: 8.5.2.1

Steps to Duplicate:
=============================================================================
o Migrate a multi-level Pro/E assembly (or the one provided with the IR) that uses assembly constraints to position the sub assembly to the top assembly
o Review all position definitions in the sub assembly
o Review the number of constraints in the top assembly and the sub assembly
o Remove the position override from the sub assembly component and see that the number of constraints in the top assembly is reduced by the number of constraints from sub assembly
See "IR1988311 CMM ProE assembly issue with position override.docx" for steps to duplicate and for clarification.
