Removing the parent part reference for a broken link
Removing the parent part reference for a broken link
(OP)
When I delete a component in an assembly it breaks the link. But there is still a reference to the parent part.
How to I remove the reference to the parent part?
I am using NX 8.5

As so often you are a great help.
I can verify that edit -> feature -> remove parameters will work.
But I am hoping for another solution. I hate to use "remove parameters". It is a last resort. I never know when I will need to rebuild something.
Maybe someone else has another solution?

RE: Removing the parent part reference for a broken link
The issue I'm having is: I need to import files into SAP's ECRT (Engineering Control Center) This is SAP's Teamcenter like a product.
If you have an assembly file and go Information > Part > Loaded Parts At the bottom there maybe a list of parts that are "Not Loaded"
You can also view the unloaded parent parts with
Assembly > Wave > Interpart Link Browser
In my case, these are components that have been deleted. Some Linked bodies that have broken links are still referencing the parent parts.
At import, ECRT will look for look for these not loaded parent parts and stop.
So far the only solution I have is edit -> feature -> remove parameters
Sometimes the parent part does not exist anymore. Or the file was exported out of Teamcenter and the file name is some very odd name in the "Windows file".
So I need to remove this reference to the parent parts.

How can I convert a dumb body, to a linked body?
RE: Removing the parent part reference for a broken link
You will see "convert to linked body" select that, then right click on the broken link to redefine it (edit with rollback or edit parameters) to a new reference body.
RE: Removing the parent part reference for a broken link
That is it!!
Yes if I Remove parameters on the Link and then I "convert to linked body" it does exactly what I was asking for. NX now loses the reference to the parent part.
23 years of working with NX/UG at ver. 8 and I'm still learning. Thanks! I like this "convert to linked body"!
Now what is the workflow for linked curves??
