Modifing A Composite Curve???????????

Modifing A Composite Curve???????????

Modifing A Composite Curve???????????

(OP)
Good morning, I have discovered a small problem and I am not sure if there is any way to fix it other than to delete it.  I have a profile on a plane and I turned it into a composite curve and then I created several profiles and attach them to the composite curve and all was well.  Then I had to modify then original profile of the composite curve and everything attached to the curve appeared to move correctly and I was happy.  Then I save the part and I went back into it and everything was sitting were it was in the original composite curve.  If I delete the original composite curve, all of my relationship go with them and there are a lot of them.  So the twenty dollar question is, is there a way to modify a composite curve's profile so the composite curve can be modified?  I hope I have made myself clear here and I how that someone knows how to modify a composite curve.  Thanksn in advance.

Can you post the part for testing?

RE: Modifing A Composite Curve???????????

I have just checked the Composite Curve functionality from my end.

I have a profile sketch which used for the composite curve. After saving I can modify the underlying sketch and the composite curve modified as well. I have reopened the part several time but all OK.

Have you tried to repeat your steps? And check the issue on different machine?

Thanks,
Artem

Thanks for the responses, but sense I needed it done, I just went back and created a new one from scratch.  This was basically a link chain in the shape of a U and so I then created the links and constrained them to the U and I still can not modify the U profile, because it keeps going back to the original position and it is not what I wanted but it will have to do.
