Hello,

After you added a normal assmbly 3D model as a "module variant" in a configurable module ;

When you use "Variant builder" in a configurable product to select the normal assembly;

Normally, Creo will use the exist assembly model to build the new main assembly model( product variant),

But in some cases, the Creo always copy a new model to build the main assembly.

 

Would any one know :

How to control  "Variant builder" to copy a new one or use exist "module variant"  to build the new product variant?

 

Thank you!

The answer is:

If a "module variant" in configurable module with "depandent" relationship with the top configurable product:

The "Variant builder"  will make a new copy for this "module variant" ,

I hope this is on purpose,

But seems little danger while people can easily breake the dependences without warning.
