Copy and Paste Open Body
Copy and Paste Open Body
(OP)
If you copy and paste with link a body in a new part the geometry will update if you change the original one.
However when trying to copy and paste a open body option with link is dimmed.
Is there any way of copying a open body into new part and keep associativity?
How to copy published geometry (curves,faces,points) from say a master part into a particular part?

RE: Copy and Paste Open Body
It works for me, but I'm using R14 with Geometric Sets.
Suggestion: Only link the elements you really need. Extra links could cause problems later.
RE: Copy and Paste Open Body
It works with 11 too.
Another question : can I publish all geometry that I need and than copy it with a link into another part?
RE: Copy and Paste Open Body
Personally, I like to work with Published Geometry and Contextual Links. Then when I need a piece of geometry, I simply select it on the fly and create the link. I also like to turn on the "Confirm when creating a linke" button so that CATIA warns me when the geometry is external.
