Hi,
I would like to make a copy of an existing assembly which has drawings
associated with it. Problem is that I can't seem to get the drawing to
copy with the assembly. Having always used Intralink, I'm not sure if
it's something I'm doing wrong. I tried PTC support, and they are
telling me that I need to open each individual part, and do a rename of
each part, which I told him was absurd. It could take days to rename a
large assembly! So I'm hoping somebody came walk me though it.
Here are the steps I've tried.
1.) With the assembly open, I select File>Save a copy
2.) I give the assembly a new name
3.) This brings up a dialog screen with all the parts of assembly
shown. The check box for "Copy Drawings" is checked.
4.) I create new part names using the Template option.
5.) I select "Generate New Names"
6.) I select "Save Copy".
Pro/E generates the new part files, but it does not make a copy of the
drawing.
I'm trying to do this in Wildfire 5.0 M060 loaded on Windows 7
