Part assemblies in catalogues may be replaced by a copy. This will result will be that a copy of the existing part assembly is made and that the copy is replacing the original part assembly in that location only.

This function is available in version 5.0 and later.

Instructions

  1. Go to a part assembly in a catalogue and select it.

  2. In the part assembly click the “Part assembly replace by copy” icon.

     

  3. A dialogue to make a copy of the existing part assembly will appear.

  4. Fill in a new persistent identity and identity and click ok.

  5. A new part assembly identical to the original will be created and the new part assembly will replace the previous in that location.

 

Note that a backing part may be created during this operation in case the part assembly has a backing part.
