How to change a part but keep the UUID?
How to change a part but keep the UUID?
(OP)
I need some advices…
I changed some parts, the old ones were symmetrical, but I created another parts by scratch and now I have a conflict with UUID so I need to use the .catproduct from the old part (with the correct UUID) with the new geometry created by me.
I know that I cannot access UUID, change it…, but I was wondering maybe you can help me with this problem.
How is the quickest way to do it?
Thanks you

It's not working like that.
The new part that I created is machined part, made with Boolean operations, so I have more parts bodies inside , which is an assembly.
When I copy/paste, I get everything mixed up, all the sketched I have to reposition and I have a lot of conflicts (“this feature involved in an update circle” or something like that).
Thanks

I know is also posible with a PowerCopy but I never try it.

In the "Save As" dialog box, specify the location of the document to be saved as well as its name and type.The Save as new document check box lets you save an existing document under a new name but with a new UUID (Unique Universal IDentifier).
This option is effective only when the document is saved in its native format, i.e. when the document type (displayed in the Save as type box) has not been modified. Otherwise, this option is ineffective.
