Can Not Change reference on a Drawing
Can Not Change reference on a Drawing
(OP)
Good afternoon, I did a Save As to make a copy of a model and also a drawing. I made the changes needed on the model and saved it. Then I tried to open the copied drawing and the References button is grayed out and so I try to close SW2008 and restart it and I got the same results. I used to change the references of the copied drawing in SW2006, but I can not do it now. My question is how do I change the reference of a drawing in SW2008? Thanks you in advance for any help on this question.

You don't see something similar to this in SW08?

1) Open both the part and the drawing.
20 Save the part to a new name and location.
3) It will give you a message that the drawing will be updated (Accept it)
4) Close the part
5) File\Save as Copy for the drawing give it a new name and location.
6) Close the file without saving
Pretty easy and the key is not save the drawing when you close it.
