older version of part into assembly

Hi

 

I have created a part file called as A.prt.1 and same is used into A.asm.1. Now I shared the part to some other person who modified it to A.prt.2. If I keep all three files that is A.asm.1 , A.prt.1 and A.prt.2, opening of A.asm.1 results into opening of A.prt.2. Is there a way to open A.prt.1 into A.asm.1 as A.prt.1 was used while creating assembly.

 

I know keeping latest version into same folder is resulting in desired behavior. But is there some option which forces creo to load part version which was used while creating assembly?

 

Any idea would be of great help.

 

Thanks and Regards

Ketan

Load A.prt.1 into Creo before opening A.asm. 

Creo does not have a load-as-saved option, so you have to work around it.

In Windchill, you can do a download to your workspace with either Load Latest or Load As Saved options.

Hi

Thanks for this information... Yes, that is good option to load part first and then assembly , but my situation is a bit more complex.

I would not have an idea which version of part was referred for assembly creation. In such scenario , I would not be knowing which part version to open first.

To the best of my knowledge, Creo assemblies do not save any inform with respect to versions of components. 

Windchill, as mentioned by Ben, is the way to go for this application. It tracks what version was used when the assembly was checked in.

 

File versions are more of a backup or recovery of data, not for controlling your assembly variants.

    The best way to determine the version used in an assembly version, that I come up with, is to pay attention to the save dates.  Anything with a date stamp after the assembly was saved would be modified.

    To open the "as saved" version follow loading instructions from Ben.
