Question

Drawing references are missing when replacing an assembly component.

Hi everyone,
I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.7.0

During the replacement of component by an unrelated component, the replace user interface propose to select the corresponding references used in the assembly itself.
Does exist a way or a configuration option to detect also the references used in the drawings ?
Due to this missing detection, the attaches of the drawing symbols are lost.

    Since the components are unrelated, the entities that are associated with the symbol can no longer find that entity. It is now gone. Therfor there is no way to detect a new reference to which you what it to be associated.

    'Sup Dale!  Exactly.  Believe me, when I just recently replaced about 400 parts in a large assy that had changed (one screw part number replaced with a different one), it would have been nice to have some logic that asked me if this surface was to be replaced with that one, etc.  I DID find a trick to significantly speed things up, but it still s#cked.

     

    So, to the OP, No, sorry, there isn't.
