so i just replaced a outdates part with something new that wasn't "relate" in creo now all the coordinates I made that referenced to the old part are still "working" but they are locked and im unable to redefine them. when I select the edit it shows the old reference with a yellow circle saying access locked and the reference is not found. 

I'm not sure how to fix this I've tried changing the path or forcing a redefine but it doesn't work. and i cant select anything different either.

You need to provide more information. Post the models if possible. If not then you need to document the issue in much more detail.

 

What version of Creo? Are you in a Windchill environment? If yes to windchill what is the release state of  models etc.

For the original external references, what is the nature of the parent child relationship referencing the coordinates? Were they created in part mode, assembly mode etc, Which object is the parent and which is a child in the context of the failed reference. Hint: use the global reference viewer to query the dependencies.

    im using creo 4. 

    so originally I had created a coordinate based on the part coordinate but moved slightly. when i replaced the part, the coordinate I had based mine off of still exists but its moved slightly. instead of rerelating to the new system my coordinate doesn't move.  when i open my coordinate and tried to change the reference i am unable to. when i right click and select what's wrong it says access locked and i cant delete the former reference or do anything to my cordinate.

    Its really hard to follow.

    You created a coordinate system in the assembly based off of the coordinate system of a part?

    When you replaced the part, you can no longer edit the refences of the coordinate system? or you can't redefine the placement constraints of the other parts?

    If you can't attach the models, maybe you can include some screenshots of what is happening?
