I made modifications to my fasteners, but when I assemble a fastener size that is checked into windchill it uses that version instead of new modified version. Is there anyway of preventing this?

Thanks

Hi,

I need some more information to answer this question.

Do you use the IFX family-table mechanism or do you have single fastener models?
Where are your modified fasteners are saved to?
- Only to a local workspace
- Only to a local drive
Can IFX access your modified fasteners?
- Try to open the fastener with the model name with 'Creo - File Open' dialog
- are the modified files loaded?

Maybe some screenshots and a little bit more details would be helpful.

Hi Oliver,

I have single fastener models.
Models are saved local on the C: Drive to a folder I've created. They are not in the default Creo created IFX folder.
IFX seems to be able to access files because most fasteners work without issues except for the few sizes that are checked into Windchill.
I'm not sure what you mean by, are the modified models loaded?

So, here's an example of an old model that has been uploaded into Windchill.

The old models don't have threads the new models have the thread. Also, new models have new assembly constraints as you can see by the error message below. When I call this fastener up in Creo, it doesn't have the thread and in my workspace it shows that it is checked into Windchill.
