hello every one,

                           i have a drawing say(1238z-136.drw) and model called in drawing with same name (1238z-136.prt), and now  I am saving a copy of drawing file with different name

(1238z-136ea) but model called in this drawing will remain same (1238z-136.prt), now when i am changing tolerance in (1238z-136ea) it automatically reflect in main drawing

(1238z-136.drw). i do not want this. I want these two draing files to be interdependent of each other. so that i can make change in tolerance values accordingly.

 

thanks in advance

Hi,

option no.1

  • copy 1238z-136.drw and 1238z-136.prt into empty directory (say C:\xxx)
  • erase Creo session memory
  • change working directory C:\xxx
  • open 1238z-136.drw and 1238z-136.prt
  • rename 1238z-136.drw and 1238z-136.prt
  • save both files
  • copy rename files to right directory

option no.2

I am going with option no.2 , the drawing is copying but both drawings are interdependent it means when i change any tolerance in one drawing it is reflecting in another drawing , sir i want fully independent drawings with same model in same directory..

thanks

Hi,

please can you upload part+drawing which are causing the problem ? I can test copy operation for you.

Adding separate sheet in main drawing may be an option for you.

This is applicable for tolerance change only. Do not show "Show-Erase dimensions" for which you want to change tolerance. Just create dimensions and if GD&T is associated then create in drawing instead of model dependent.

I hope this will work.

Thanks,

Jitu Thakor
