Update Functionality not working with Unite Technology?????

Has anyone tried the “update” functionality when assembling non-Creo parts into a Creo assembly?


Many of you have seen the Web-Casts, attended Creo 3.0 Hands on Workshops, or even read the PTC literature stating how you can assemble multi-cad models into your Creo Assembly. If those models change in their native Software, you can "update" them in your Creo assembly, right?


Well, somewhere along the line PTC has determined this to be a “bug” and it is not intended or supported.


I was unable to get the update function to work, so I opened a call to tech support and they opened a spr.


The response from R&D shocked me:







The SPR# 2254637 filed for this issue has been closed by PTC R&D as Works to product specification for Creo Parametric 3.0 M020 mentioning that the ability to update foreign models opened with Unite is not intended and not supported.


For more details, please refer article "Solidworks part assembled in an assembly does not update properly in Creo Parametric 3.0 M020" at:https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS196854



When I asked Customer Support about the Web-Cast, training manuals, and PTC documentation, he said they will be changed!


I have attached the Unite data sheet and the training manual pages I received at a Creo 3.0 Hands on Workshop.

Licensing can be set up so multiple people can access the license. So you can buy 1 or a few of the licenses you need.
