Yet another external references question....
Yet another external references question....
(OP)
I have tried searching for this and could find similar external references problem but not this one...
I have an assembly (Ass A) which has a skeleton part within it (Skeleton A). There are a bunch of other parts (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.....).
All the parts are defined within the context of Ass A to Skeleton A:
Ass A
--Skeleton A
----Part 1
----Part 2
----Part 3
----Part 4
----Part 5
----Part 6
----Part 7
----Part 8
I want to break Ass A into Ass B, Ass C, Ass D and Ass E.
Each Sub Ass will have the skeleton part within it.
This is what I want:
Ass A
--Ass B
----Skeleton A
------Part 1
------Part 2
--Ass C
----Skeleton A
------Part 3
------Part 4
--Ass D
----Skeleton A
------Part 5
------Part 6
--Ass E
----Skeleton A
------Part 7
------Part 8
So the parts will always relate to the skeleton part, just within another assembly. IS there an easy way to redirect the references?
Thanks in advance, Chris.

RE: Yet another external references question....
- Perform a Save As of Ass A to Ass B.
- Open Ass B and Delete Parts 3-8.
- Perform a Save As of Ass A to Ass C.
- Open Ass C and Delete Parts 1-2 and 5-8
- Repeat for Ass D and Ass E
- Reassemble Ass A using Ass B-E
