How can I use a part with latest revision of already existing part revision "000"?

How can I use a part with latest revision of already existing part revision "000"?

How can I use a part with latest revision of already existing part revision "000"?

(OP)
I am sorry for my mistake in last thread.
Here is revised question.
==================================================
I want to import an assembly into TC like below
ueassy.prt
- ue001A.prt
- ue001B.prt
- ue001C.prt
- ue001D.prt
- ue001E.prt
And one part is already existing in Teamcenter.
ue001D/000 <-- Existing part in TC

I imported this assembly into TC with option like below
1. main tab / Default Import Action = Use Existing
2. Numbering / Import Numbering = Auto Translate

The result is like below
ueassy.prt
- ue001A/000
- ue001B/000
- ue001C/000
- ue001D/001
- ue001E/000

Questions
1. Why only "ue001D" item was imported with new revision?
2. How can I use "ue001D" component with latest revision of already existing part revision "000"?



RE: How can I use a part with latest revision of already existing part revision "000"?

ue001D was imported as rev 001 because rev 000 already existed and the system will not overlay an existing rev.
If you want to use the exisating rev 000 part of ue0001D in your ueassy file, you will need to import the parts individually and not as part of the assembly. There may be a toggle in the TC import to allow use of existing components, too.

Have you tried 'User Number' for the naming method? This should allow you to set the revision for importing each part.
We use a custom process for importing data, but can import assemblies without up-revising all the parts.

thank you.Ben and Mike.
I used "Use Existing" Action and I thought this action means existing item and revision.
So I expected that the imported item will be exactly same with already existing in TC.
It is reason why I thought that there are one more action "New revision".

New revision : If same item exist in TC, create New Revision.
Use Existing : If same item exist in TC, Use exactly same item(include revision).
