Hello All,
in my company we quite regularly use copy and paste of surfaces in assembles to reuse surfaces. We usually create an assembly containing both the part with the surfaces we need (A) and the part we want the surfaces in (B). Activate the part the surfaces need to go into. Then select the surfaces we want to copy, (using CTRL) then do Ctrl C and Ctrl V to paste them. But when I then go into part A and change the surface, the copied surfaces in B fail.
But I am confused by the dependencies of this feature and cant find them specified anywhere. I looked in the help menu but there doesn't seem to be anything there. I would expect either to have no link at all, so modifying A wont affect B. Or to have a updated link so modifying A changes B, possibly also giving a warning when the part is first opened.
To save me doing a lot of trial and error to try to find this out does anyone know what they are? Also can I change them in my settings or by how i perform the function?
We are using Creo 3.0 if that makes a difference to any one with no database management system.
Thanks for any input.
Gavin.
