saving drawing without references
saving drawing without references
(OP)
Hi all
I seem to have a problem.
How do I create a drawing thats not directly linked/reference to the part that it comes from.
In other words, when I create a drawing, and then modify the part, the drawing updates. How do I stop this. I just need the drawing without modifications.

corblimey,
It works when I save as a DXF, but is their anyway to save it as a slddrw?
RE: saving drawing without references
You can make a non-slddrw file as CBL has suggested. But if you want a slddrw file linked to a part then by default it will reflect changes to the part.
There are many suggestions that can be offered, but they would be better targeted if we knew the what and why you want to do this. Please explain.

The drawing will not be able to find the model. SW will prompt you to find it, if it thinks the model needs loaded.

One of the points of having 3D solid modeling is that the drawing and model is associated, or parametric.
IMO, to break them, might as well use ACAD...or a cheaper CAD.
