Document Handling
(OP)
Here's my question: We do machine rebuilds and at times make new replacement parts. I model and create a drawing for a repair. Several weeks or months later the customer requires new replacement parts which are modified from the repair parts. So I save as a copy of the repaired part and make modifications to the saved part. I've run into problems trying to save the old drawing referencing the modified part. I did it once long ago but don't remember how I did it. I'm just trying to avoid making another drawing from scratch when it may be different by one dimension. I've thought about configurations but I'm not sure this is the best way to approach this situation. Anyone doing similar and how I should be handling this?
Thanks,
Dennis

I did exactly that this morning and the drawing wouldn't update to the referenced part. I will investigate further and see what I missed.
