Question

Updating inheritance file path?

I’m testing out a multibody part design workflow.

Everything seems to work well except for the link to the source model.

If the source model is moved or renamed, the child models regenerate but I can’t find a way to reestablish the link. Any suggestions?

My workflow.

  • Create multibody part.
  • Import the multibody part into a new (empty part) using inheritance. This brings in solid bodies and datums.
  • Do “keep bodies” to keep just the single body that is necessary.
  • Repeat for other bodies.
  • Close parent and child parts, erase from session.
  • Rename or move parent part.
  • Open one of the child parts and try to re-link.

Your query is not clear, but it seems that the source of your issue is that you are renaming or moving parent models such that they are not in session when you want to use them to drive derivative models. If the parent object is not in session, then Creo will not use it to regenerate derivative (children) models.

You would be better served by explaining at a high level what design intent you are managing via the inheritance feature(s) and how you want to control it in the context of a Top-Down Design approach.

Why are you bringing in all bodies and only “keeping” a single body using inheritance functionality? You can create part from body for any single body (no inheritance feature needed for this). If you need the inheritance to manage something, then explain in detail why you are using that.
