How do I update parts that were changed in another session.

I am working on an assembly that was copied from another assembly. Some of the reused components are being updated, and I want to have the changes shown in my current session. How can I update the models that were changed, without having to exit my current session and reopening the changed models?

Are you using Windchill? If not, this is a dangerous condition depending on how you are saving updated parts that you have in session. It is all too easy to overwrite existing updates in a non-PDM environment.

Collaborative efforts in Creo requires some levels of care about overwriting data.

If you are using a Windchill environment, someone more knowledgeable than I will need to weigh in.

I understand Windchill very well from a prior employer, however, my new employer does not own a license.

In that case, how are you managing file duplication? From your initial post, it sounds like you have an assembly open but other people are making changes to parts you have in session.

Seems there should be some kind of "update out-of-date parts in session" operation. Don't know of one but there should be one
