Delete references
Delete references
(OP)
It's been a few years that I have done this.
SolidWorks 2009 SP3.0.
I did a pack and go for an assembly. I opened the new assy, some parts are still referencing an old assy. Both assy's are same version and SP.
I can not find within SW or SW Explorer how to delete the reference.
I thought it was easily done in 2006.
I tried selecting 'references' when opening the part.
There is no option anywhere.

RE: Delete references
You can Lock, Unlock or Break the references via right-clicking the part in the FM and selecting the List External References option.
Note: The option is only available if Ext Refs exists.
RE: Delete references
I have looked at the FM and tried to delete them, but it does not allow me. Maybe I need to upgrade to SP4.1?
I have been having a lot of issues since loading 3.0. It could be because I have been away from SW a while, a little rusty...

I looked there and it does not allow the option for me to delete.

RE: Delete references
Yes, I have found Matt's suggestion to work.
Wish it were easier...
