Connections and Windchill

Hi,
really I can't understand why this happens.
All the things are expressed in the video.
I work with Creo 8.0.8 and Windchill 12.0.2.2.


I have this component, called GUS_4041, that's a commercial junction for alluminium profilates.
I've saved it as assembly with and internal PIN connection.
My Idea is to use it every time I want with differet angular configurations due to the situations, so without the necessity of a lot of "save a copy".
I can't undestand why Windchill "feels" the conponent modifided when I save the assembly. It should not be so because of it's the aim of the useing of connections instead of constraints.
Thanks
Bye

After you have made the change at the assembly level if you open the GUS part on its own will it be rotated to the assembly position? Its been a while since I have used mechanisms but I think it will. If so then Creo is storing the position at the GUS level and thus it is getting changed.

 

Its been a while but I think this is part of the reason we stopped using mechanism constraints (we also use Windchill).
