Drawing Links
(OP)
I am trying to update my drawings at the latest engineering level, basically to re-link the views of each drawing to the new 3D math data received. I do not know why some of my drawings do not accept the new 3D files. The error message is: " The link refused the document". I have used Edit/ Link/ Replace. Did anybody have this issue before?

RE: Drawing Links
Your drawing remebers the UUID of the original part
used to create it.
It now wants a part with the same UUID number
or else it will refuse relinking

RE: Drawing Links
Yes, the new file which I would like to have it linked to the drawing has a different UUID, it is a new engineering level for the part. Also I will create another drawing from the existing one, so the UUID will be different.
How can I determine the UUID of the file? Can it be modify?

RE: Drawing Links
You can't modify the UUID or determine this number (at least I don't know how to). See also http://www.eng-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=1318

RE: Drawing Links
The UUID cannot be modified.
It is however possible to relink via coding(CAA and or VBA).
We have done it successfully this way using our inhouse
programmers
