Overwriting subassembly by creating constraint
Overwriting subassembly by creating constraint
(OP)
Hello,
Dear colleagues you are my last hope. I work in CATIA v5 not too long but the issue is common and bothering me.
Situation:
I create two subassemblies products: subassy1 and subassy2. Then create third, assembly product: assy. I insert subassy1 into the assy and fix it. Then I insert subassy2 and create some constraint with subassy1. Every time the save management indicate that by creating mutual constraint in some magic way I modified subassy2.
Please tell me what could be the reason of overwriting subassy2 by just creating some constraint?
Thanks for all comments.

Also, make sure subassy2 is updated before dropping it in "assy" and creating a constraint with subassy1

I can imagine how my question may sound. But I have such hard time with this issue and I don't know where the core of this problem is.
Yes, I have active product (the top one=assy) when creating constraints. More, I have anything up to date before assembly.
Can I think about it as a bug, should I contact with techsupport of my licence in workplace? What is strange nobody indicate such problem, so probably I am doing something wrong. What kind of details do you need to diagnose it?

Is it an extremely large file size that might be causing a problem?

Strictly speaking I have build subassemblies with standard components produced in our company - large product with multiple parts, when I try to constraint some of it's geometry with client model which is fixed not intentionally I overwriting subassembly just by adding some constraint.
