Modifying links in CatDrawing

Modifying links in CatDrawing

(OP)
Hey all!

I need to know if it is possible to take a view (in a CatDrawing), that is linked to one CatProduct, and modify it so that it is ALSO linked to another Catproduct or just relink it to a different Catproduct.

My issue is that I created a view, using CatProduct A. Now I need to add, in phantom, components from Catproduct B. Is there a way to add Catproduct B to the links of my view?

Thanks for the help!

RE: Modifying links in CatDrawing

create CATProduct C with 2 components : CATProduct A and B

Link your drawing with CATProduct C.

Using overload properties, turn drawing elements from CATProduct B as phantom line...

As long as you are NOT in an ENOVIA environment.  If you are using VPM or LCA, you will need to isolate the view after projecting the phantom geometry.
