Is there a trick to SAVE AS part B to a new revision of an existing part A in NX8.5 and TeamCenter8

Is there a trick to SAVE AS part B to a new revision of an existing part A in NX8.5 and TeamCenter8

(OP)

Hi

In my company we work with nx8.5 under teamcenter 8.

I have 2 parts part A and part B
(the content of the parts are adaquate to the operation that I want to do)

I want to save part B as a new revision of part A.

Is anyone have a trick of how to do this.

Greetings and thanks

Revise your part A , tell the system to discard the Dataset (to prevent it from being used in an assembly).
in TC save as your part B to the Part A rev (type in the part A ID). Most probably the system will tell you it is not possible to create the new dataset in Part A rev but it will create the dataset.
Search for the new dataset name and paste it in new rev part A.

That is not possible in NX...You need to revise and do the save-as in TC

THANK YOU.

You can use Named Reference swap from Part B after doing save as on part A to new rev.

RE: Is there a trick to SAVE AS part B to a new revision of an existing part A in NX8.5 and TeamCenter8

Could you rename the revision A to a different revision. Open the renamed Revision "A" in NX and do a saveas to the ""A" Revision.
