link modified solid part with dwg

link modified solid part with dwg

link modified solid part with dwg

(OP)
I have solid part name called "X.CATpart" & associated "X.CATdwg" with many diemensions included.

For the same solid part "X", I received modified soild geometry with different part name.

Now, I just want to incorporate only changes to dwg & thats why I tried to save the new modified part with X.CATpart but doesn't allow me to do so!

Can someone tell me how do i incorporate only changes with modified solid geometry & part name  to dwg rather than making a dwg again?

(The modified part, received from the customer & hence having different name)

RE: link modified solid part with dwg

Have you tried to an EDIT, LINKS, REPLACE in your CATDrawing?  

RE: link modified solid part with dwg

(OP)
Need more help, I tried to look into properties but couldn't find any info.

You want me change solid part file link or dwg link or new modified solid part link? considering -

Original solid Part X. CATPART & dwg X.CATDwg

New modifie part with new part name Y.CATPART (Its same as X but having minor changes)

step by step answer would be appreciated.


RE: link modified solid part with dwg

In the drawing, go to EDIT, LINKS.  Select the Pointed Documents Tab.  Select the 3-D file that you want to replace.  Select Replace.  Select the new file.  Update your views.

If you receive an error message "the document refused the link", then you are SOL and will need to re-draw the drawing.

SOL =

Shit
Out (of)
Luck

This is a very handy phrase.  Add it to your toolbox, and use it often.

I'm surpised IBM don't charge a recurring license fee for that feature like everything else you have to pay extra for...smile

RE: link modified solid part with dwg


If we had to pay IBM for SOL, nobody would use Catia.

I'm sure they've already done a "business case" on that.
