Hello
Nowadays I am working in a very ugly issue: converting catia files to Ug files through an special translator. Unfortunately I have a problem : the drawings are not linked to 3d. In these cases I am remaking the 3d but when I replace the 3d the drawings seems tk be locked. I mean, when 3d is modified , the drawings do not update. Is it possible that they are locked?Is there any way to lock/unlock views?
Thanks in avance for your support!

RE: unlock 2d views

Are you suggesting that the 2D Drawings existed BEFORE you started to recreate your 3D models?

Hello, first of all thanks a lot for your proptly reply.
Yes, the drawings are made before remaking the 3d.Nowadays I am followig these steps:
- new ug drawing and copy and paste the drawings from converted file
- after remaking 3d , replace the father of the views.
-After that the drawings are linked to the new 3d , however, the views are not able to update.
Regards

RE: unlock 2d views

I suspect that the Drawing is just that, 2D, and as such, there are NO links to any 3D views and therefore there's nothing for the Drawing to update.

Unfortunetely I suspected the same....however in catia in these cases the view icon appears broken.
I thought that maybe the views were locked....

Thank you very much for your support¡
