Can't remove a part from assembly
Can't remove a part from assembly
(OP)
Hello,
I was attempting to rename a part (partB) to a name (partA) that was occupied by another part. So I removed the other part (partA) from the assembly and deleted it in file explorer. Now, when I attempt SaveAs on the part I want to rename, it shows the error:
The following objects failed to save:
The new part name is already in use. Cannot SaveAs to PartA since it already exists. PartA is a part family template of member <assembly>.
But,
How can I remove PartA from the assembly?

But,
- PartA does not exist as a component in the part navigator.
- PartA does not exist as a file in file explorer.
- If I want to close PartA, it does not exist among the parts available to close in the Close Part dialog.
How can I remove PartA from the assembly?

"PartA is a part family template of member <assembly>."
needs to be checked, is there/ was there a "partA" which is/was the template of a part family member , where the member is a component in the assembly ?
If NX loads a part family member, it will know the name of the family template.

Tomas
