Breaking links in an assembly
Breaking links in an assembly
(OP)
Is there a simple way to break all the links in an Assembly? For years I have used UG and created what I call a proper tree. I am at a new company and have been told that I cannot have geometry linked between parts. Don't ask, I have been told and will do as I am told ( trust me I fought as much as I could )Now I have exported out a step and brought it back in, but then I lose all parameters. I would like to keep the links active till the end when I submit the design. Is there a way to break the links in a full assembly without having to do it in each part for every link?
Thanks for the help.

If so, is it sufficient to simply 'Break' the links, or do they have to be removed altogether? If simply breaking the links will be adequate, you can use the 'Relationship Browser' to create a diagram of your Assembly and then show all of the links in the list of 'Relations', select them all, press MB3 and select the 'Break Links' option. This will break all links but Interpart Expressions.
Note that you can do the same thing using the 'Interpart Link Browser'.

I found the interpart link browser. Worked great. It was currently hidden. I can not find the Relationship browser. Where is that?
Thanks again.

Used interpart link browser last week, worked great. This week, it says "available in gateway", I open gateway and it says not available. So confused. I found the relationship browser, but it says can not find Wave license. I am assuming we do not have that bundle.
Help. what am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
