PROBLEMS WITH "NEW FROM" COMMAND

PROBLEMS WITH "NEW FROM" COMMAND

PROBLEMS WITH "NEW FROM" COMMAND

(OP)
Hi everybody

I am runnig with CATIA v5r15 and i have a problem. When i have to do a new part that is more or less like  than an existing part i use "new from" command. If i am working in Assembly desing workbench...and launch "new from" command...a warning window appears and tell me that a have to close the part that i want to copy with "new from"....but the reality is that i have to close all the assembly to do a "new from".

Is there any posibility to do this without close all my Assembly?...

Thanks in advance

RE: PROBLEMS WITH "NEW FROM" COMMAND

Is it easier to 'Save as' to create your new assembly or part?

RE: PROBLEMS WITH "NEW FROM" COMMAND

Hi,

I think that using "New From" is the right thing to do in order to create an independent copy of a part or product. Unfortunately you have to close the the part/product before running the "New From" command.....

RE: PROBLEMS WITH "NEW FROM" COMMAND

When working in an assembly, you can achieve the same thing by using Copy/Paste Special, Break Link.  In other words, select the part you want to make a "new from" part.  Right click and Copy.  Select the Product.  Right click and Paste Special. Select Break Link.  

You will now have a new part in the tree that is titled "Copy of xxxxxx". You can now re-name it and go to Save Management, where you will see it listed as a New Document.  

In this case, as in New From, the UUIDs will be reset.
