...I create a new part (eg Part51), save it under a new name, relevant to it's part number.
...when I insert it into an assembly, the part name comes up as Part51, not the new name? why is this?
...so I have to rename it in the assy, even though it knows it is linked to that part under it's...
...has anyone else spotted this, or am I missing something?
It's a facility in V4, whereby I can choose a surface and an (appropriate) plane and create a solid between the two, in the normal direction of the plane. But, I can't see an icon for it in V5!!
I can, of course, get around this, by...
...in CADDS5 I could View-Part; in Catia4 I can activate a part passively and/or use sessions - how to do the same in V5, so that I can 'interact' with an existing part, reference only, such that any info from intersections with or extractions from it, are 'kept' in the 'current/new' part...
