Create .prt from .pvz
Hello cleverest of all people.
I've been trying to open a .pvz file, taken from creo view, as a part in Creo.
I'm doing this in an attempt to quickly import a big assembly from the viewer, into another assembly in creo.
Problem is, when I try opening the .pvz file as a part, I just get an empty window. If I open as an assembly it works, but then when I try to safe it to my workspace, I get a ton of duplicate parts and it refuses to safe.
The weird thing is, if I try opening the pvz-file as a part while having another part or assembly open, it opens the assembly in the other model.
This is a weird result, but it gave me the idea to try creating an empty part, and then opening the .pvz-file from there. This worked, but it opened as an assembly, and then I'm back to my previous problem with not being able to save it.
In conclusion: Does anyone have a great way of opening .pvz files in creo as parts?
