Hello, I am trying to remove a part from my workspace and it wants to bring the drawing with it. I have already removed the part from the drawing, regenerated, saved. The part still wants to bring the drawing with it. Any ideas here? Thank you.

Have you deleted the model from the drawing or did you just delete the view? If you just deleted the view, the model will still be "on" the drawing. You'll need to remove the model from the drawing.

Another thing to check would be associations. Drawings associate to the models that are on them via a calculated association type. You may need to remove this association if it exists. Based on what you wrote, the remove task is failing because you aren't removing dependents as well.

Yes, I removed the model from the drawing. How do you check for associations?

The answer kind of depends on your environment and whether or not you're using WTparts but...

Locate the drawing in the workspace
Right-click on the drawing
Select Edit Associations

If the drawing has been associated to the model, it will look something like this:

If you need to remove an association, you can select the object and click the Remove Association button. If you're using parts, this action will check the WTpart out in commonspace. You'll have to check it back in to finish the association change.

Here's some light reading:

You can also view associations on the Related Objects tab.
