Pack & Go
Pack & Go
(OP)
I completed a small job that includes one assembly made up of ten parts & one 24x36 drawing with all ten parts dimensioned.
I just got another job to do that is very similar to the last one. All parts are basically the same with very subtle differences, but they are for another customer so they must be named and filed independant from each other.
I used Pack and Go and selected all of the models and the drawing, applied a suffix and saved.
I opened up the new assembly and all of the new parts are referenced properly, However I opened up the new drawing and it still references the original part models. Is this a bug? Why would Pack and Go not handle the drawing contents properly? Is there a quick and reliable fix to link to the correct part models without muckin up the works?
Should I have handled this differently and not use Pack & Go? I do use PDMWorks but thought Pack & Go was the right way to copy and rename jobs.
Thanks for your help.

RE: Pack & Go
Did you checkmark all instances of the drawing document?

This is common when parts are copied.
