Linking a black box in kinematics

Linking a black box in kinematics

Linking a black box in kinematics

(OP)
Hi,
I have a Produce saved locally that is linked to a kinematics black box saved within VPM Enovia. Along with the kinematics BB there are many other models also saved in VPM inside my Product. Changes to the models are reflected in the Product and so are the skeleton parts within the kinematics BB. The problem is changes to the VPM kin BB are not being reflected fully, ie. I don't see any changes made to the Mechanisms. However if I load the Kin BB from the locally saved Product I get the BB as saved in VPM.
It there a way of forcing an update - the Link function does not report any issues but I cannot do a Replace as I cannot see the VPM version in the session link window. This also applies if I try to do a Component replace. I can do a replace if I save the VPM Kin BB to the local drive but I would prefer to keep the basic elements fully in VPM.
Currently it all actually works but I would like a long term solution.
