How to re-establish link to published body

How to re-establish link to published body

How to re-establish link to published body

(OP)
Hi Group
I have created two CATParts.
I published a body from CATPart1 and used it in CATPart2.
Problem is after performing SAVE AS on both parts to create CATPart3 and CATPart4, CATPart4 is still linked to CATPart1.

Is it possible to link CATPart4 to the published body in CATPart3?

Dave

RE: How to re-establish link to published body

Not 100% sure but I think you need to use 'New From' rather than 'Save As' to create your new parts. Save as just creates a copy of the part but with the same UUID (Unique Universal Identifier) which may be why the link points to the old part. New from will create a copy with it's own unique UUID.

The use of the term UUID seems a bit of an anomoly as it isn't particularly unique if it can be shared by more than one part.

Dave - use replace to swap the Part1 body with the published body in Part3

RE: How to re-establish link to published body

Dave -- To add to Jackk's response, load CATPart4 , Edit --> Links, Replace pick the item to replace, Select FIlE and then locate CATPart3.

Derek

Guys, try this. It seems to work from time to time. Right-click on the publication -> Components -> Define Contextual Links -> Now click on the geometry/body it should go to from your assembly. Let us know if it worked for you.

Regards,Gary.
