"Save As" an assembly and parts with equation
"Save As" an assembly and parts with equation
(OP)
Hi,
I am having an issue with "Save As" command. When I save an assembly model (*.sldasm) together with selective components, SW indicated that I saved them successfully. But equations I have in eithor parts' model or the assembly model do not get updated to file names of the new created assembly and parts.
When I use "Pack n Go", I do not have the issue. Did anyone experience this issue?
Best regards,
Alex

So, you have the same issue. It seems a bug. I am requesting a SPR via VAR with this issue.
Equations that are tied to file names do get updated during P&G with file name changes.

I got a reply from SW that confirmed the issue. SW has been working on it.

However, the individual parts still linked back to the OLD .txt
Original
..\[WIP] Model\vars.txt
New
..\Production\vars.txt
The part (now in "..\Production\") still looked to "..\[WIP] Model\" until I manually updated it.
Check that out too.

Interesting! It is a big bug, isn't it?
BTW, how do you use global vars in a *.txt file?

Create a .txt file.
CODE
"width" = 24
"var_name" = 2
Then in the Equations editor, import the .txt
I feel like it is a workaround for when out-of-context relations break a lot (ie. modifying sheet metal parts, faces and edges always change names).
