"aste - as result with link" not updating within CATPart ?
(OP)
I have been using the "Paste - as result with link" option to copy and past part bodies within the same CATPart. The issue is that the as result part body does not always seem to update (yes, I have update automatically checked on).
Most things update, but specifically ribs and slots, when I change these features on the parent part body the child does not seem to update, and I can't force update (the button is greyed out).
Sometimes, if I edit another feature of the parent body after editing the slot or rib, then the child will update, but not always. Sometimes, the CATPart file doesn't show it needs updated, but if I save the file, then restart CATIA and re-open the file it will need updated, then I can click the update icon and it will work correctly.
Has anyone input on this behavior? I'm on R17 (no service pack installed). 32 bit winXP.

Just curious: are those PartBodies published?

Does the copied solid have the blue arrow in the icon?
What is the Defined Work Object? Make sure the Primary PartBody is underlined, and see if that makes a difference.
