Interference between open assemblies
Interference between open assemblies
(OP)
Hi,
I'm modifying a copy of an assembly. The copy is located on my c drive and the original on a cd. I would like to have both these assemblies open at the same time, but I have noticed that Pro E links the two assemblies together eventhough they should be completelly indepentend. The changes I make in one assembly subsequently occur in the other assembly. The result of the interaction is not permanent, so everything goes back to normal when only one assembly is open. The data transfer might be one-way, from the original to the copy, but I'm not completely sure about that.
Is there a way that I can tell Pro E that the two assemblies are independent of each other?

But you can open 2 Pro/ENGINEER sessions and one can hold the copy and the other one the original. Strongly suugest to show the path in the title window, if not,you will not know which one is the original and which one is the copy. 2 monitors can solve the problem.

It would be nice if I somehow could change the filenames (for instance add "v2" to each filename of one model), and thereby make the models independent. But that's not possible, is it?

2 ProE sessions is not good enough for you?

There are lots of parts, but not too too many in terms of allocated memory. Do you have a good technique for renaming the parts as you describe?

Roughly how many unique parts are there in your aasemblies that need to be different?

Mapkey, does not ring any bells. Found nothing about it in the help files. Could you please expand that a bit.
Robertib, I though that would work too, and it does for some parts/sub-assemblies, but not for all of them. I don't know why this is and what determins which files will assume the new name. I know that some parts are Generic, perhaps those files are stubborn about their names.
