is the UUID important for assemblies?

is the UUID important for assemblies?

is the UUID important for assemblies?

(OP)
I've recently been told that a Part's UUID is used when copying assemblies.

Can someone explain?

Is it better to use SAVE AS or NEW FROM when copying an assembly and some (but not all) of the part instances?

(I know how UUIDs effect drawing links)

RE: is the UUID important for assemblies?

(OP)
thanks for the link Ferdo, but it didn't address my question

RE: is the UUID important for assemblies?

Well, in my opinion is very important and all is related with the links....because you can have problems when you will try to load an assy.

It also depends if you are working in a PDM system or with files on hard disk.

On a hard disk you can avoid conflicts by declaring the Search Order  in a way so CATIA will load what you want first but in a PDM system you will never do a Check In if there is already a part with the same UUID in PDM.

Fernando
