The part is saved anyway
The part is saved anyway
(OP)
I am fairly new to Solid works, my previous history has been with Solid Edge. So excuse me if I am asking an obvious question.
Why when in an assembly and I edit a part, either in the assembly or part environment and I make changes I dont want. I select the dont save option when leaving the editor but the changes retained.
I am aware that I should use the UNDO function but if you have made a lot of changes it is simpler to close the part editing session.
The only way I have found is to close the assembly potentially loosing other desired changes.

RE: The part is saved anyway
Once you close the part document, yo uneed to reload the part in the assembly. Right-click on the part in the assembly, and you should find the option to reload it on the context menu. It will ask you a question or two, but you will know what you want to do by then.
