Updating Assemblies
(OP)
Hello
I am working with an assembly with many sub assemblies within. I moved one of the sub assemblies to another folder and when I loaded the assembly it said the link to the sub assembly was not found. I tried updating the links but it will not allow me to choose a new source file. Is it possible to update the link without having to reposition the sub assembly?
Thanks!

RE: Updating Assemblies
If no, read the help about the link management file and the edit link dialogue box (also pull down menu).

RE: Updating Assemblies
Open your assembly with the revision manager (go through Insight Connect if necessary).
Then, use <set action to replace> to repair the link by browsing to your subassembly file in its new location.
If it's used by a draft or other assembly file. Open the dft file instead and use <where used> to update the other top level files.

RE: Updating Assemblies
1. Open the main assembly with Revision Manager.
2. You'll notice a row which indicates [file not found]; this should be your missing sub-assembly.
3. Right click on the row and select 'Set action to Replace'.
4. Choose the assembly file and click Open in the dialog box.
5. Save the file.
Hope this helps.
