Link between SE asm and STEP file

Link between SE asm and STEP file

(OP)
People,

Someone in our office has raised the question regarding the conversion of an assembly file into STEP file.

When our manufacturing department requests a "dummy" model of a machined/fabricated assembly in order to create their program (CAD/CAM) they request a STEP file of the assembly.

If the assembly is modified AFTER the STEP file is created, am I correct that there is no direct link between the two files? This would mean that manufacturing will have an out of date model?

Is there a better method in order to keep the link? If so, please share this information. Has anyone else had this similiar experience?

Many thanks in advance.

Your are correct. There's no direct link between STP and the model
