V5 equivalent to V4 session

[Martynids]

I am very new to V5, getting along o.k. but some of the basics are still a bit unclear.
In V4 I would open several models, save them as a session, then work on one model. Saving the session would update both the session and the modified model.
Am I correct in thinking that in V5 this process is now done in the Assembly workbench and that the .session is now .product and that saving the product also saves the part.

Hi,

Yes, its correct. Only if they are not in a read only area.

Yes, a CATProduct is similar to a V4 Session. The same way that a Corvette is similar to a Pontiac.

A CATProduct is much more capable than V4 Sessions ever were.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of V5. You will be assimilated! :-D

Hi,

If you can do much more with a CATProduct than a .session there is something some people are missing from .session, it is the option to 'save with modifications'...

Saving your CATProduct is not the same as saving your CATProduct and CATParts... Use save managment for that...
