Deleting Links in V5???

Deleting Links in V5???

Deleting Links in V5???

(OP)
I have a catproduct that was given to us by a supplier. When I go to edit links---> pointed documents there are documents that are not relevant to the catproduct.  

How can these be deleted?

RE: Deleting Links in V5???

CATDUAV5 from the desk will remove ghost links

(OP)
PeterGuy thanks for the reply.

Assuming the ghost links are red in under "desk" I ran the CATDUAV5 and nothing changed when I saved an reopened.

I also ran CATDUAV5 under the utility but no change.

Any other suggestions?

RE: Deleting Links in V5???

No, Ghost Links are links that are not visible in the Desk.  They are remnants of links that were deleted, but not cleaned out of the data.

Anything RED on the desk indicates a file that CATIA is not able to find - it may or may not be present on your system, CATIA just cannot find it.  

Contact your OEM and ask for the additional parts, or ask them for a new copy of the assembly without the links to the additional parts.

RE: Deleting Links in V5???

Could be contextual links, right click on the product and then go to "components" and there use "define contextual links"

RE: Deleting Links in V5???

Referring back to the original post; I'm guessing you're asking about Instance Links that show up as "Document Not Found" status?

You can delete these instance links by deleting the parts from the assembly. Go back to the Links tab, and select one of the bad links - this will highlight the part in the assembly tree. Close the Edit+Links window, and delete the part from the assembly.
