Splitting up existing partfamily 1

[NutAce]

Hi All,

We are running into the issue that some of our partfamilies are causing issues due to the large amount of members in there...
Is there a correct procedure to split up an existing partfamily into two or more additional families?

File Save As has worked for me in the past.

I then split both spreadsheets accordingly.

Delete all of the members and then rebuild them,

Hi Phill,

That solution past my mind as well. However the Deletion of all those files will be difficult...What if some of the created members already have been used in Assemblies?
We are running NX9 in Teamcenter 10.1.2

Do you try to use the 64bits Excel?

No...We are still on 32bit office due to some 32bit Access Applications we are still running in our company...(thank you mr Bill Gates... )

Your Load Options need to have "Allow Replacement" to be on. Or rather, that's our default setting.

They are actually the same members, it's just they now come from a different template.

I used to have one family for all types of hex head screws ... I split that into 5 or 6, deleted all of the members, and then recreated them all using the new templates.

Teamcenter doesn't allow for the deletion of parts used in assemblies....

Using native NX, you would delete them.

We use SAP (ECTR) for our PLM system, here we would simply overwrite them.
