Spliting Parts and Coping
Spliting Parts and Coping
(OP)
Is there an easy way in SWX to copy parts that have been split and have the parts reference the new copies.
I'm creating a housing with top and bottom sections, each half having an interior and exterior cover. In all I have 7 part files. One is the original design, the 2nd and 3rd parts are split from the original master(using the split command) and the 4th, 5th, 6th, & 7th are split from the 2nd & 3rd. I would like to make some changes but would like to maintain the original files. Therefore I would like to copy all files in the group and have the new split parts reference the new master(s).

RE: Spliting Parts and Coping
Within the assembly, you can go to File > Find References, and copy all the parts of the assembly into a different directory for use elsewhere.
