If a reference dimension is changed, how do you get the other parts to update to reflect that change? I have created a couple parts that will go together in an assembly. Some of the dimensions are specified using formulas with "interpart references".
For example, part 1 has a length 10 (p5). Parts 2 and 3 both use interpart references to be half the length of part 1 (formula being "Part1" :: p5 /2 ). When I originally create parts 2 and 3, they correctly specify the length as 5. If I change the part 1 length from 10 to 30, I would expect parts 2 and 3 to automatically update to be length 15; however, parts 2 and 3 still stay length 5.
There is an option on the Toolbar of <Tools> - <Update> - <Update Session> . That sounded like what I need to use, but nothing changes after selecting "Update Session". Only way I can get the update is to go into each reference and recreate the interpart reference. Defeats the purpose of using references if you have to go in and re-define all your constraints when a change is made...
