Replace by unrelated component and asm0001.asm is not unique - Windchill

[MG_12924162]

I am using Creo Parametric 10. I am encountering a similar issue to what is described here: (1) Replace by unrelated component and asm0001 already... - PTC Community. From that, I am able to delete the "asm0001.asm" from my workspace and that allows me to use replace by unrelated component. However, when I try to upload the "replacement" part to Windchill, I get the error "Assembly - asm0001.asm is not unique". 

I checked the Reference Viewer in the part, and asm0001.asm is not listed. Where else can I check to break the reference? The part file is a family table, if that matters.

Possibly it's holding on to the asm0001.asm as a place keeper for an interchange assy. If you don't uncheck the box "remember these components" it will create a link that I think occassionally manifests itself as asm0001.asm in a workspace as a ghost object.

Go to file - prepare - model properties and look for "interchange" and see if it has anything "defined" and if so see if you can change it and remove the link.

I'm not sure this is the reason.

Hi,

To complement what @StephenW said, you could use this config option to never remembering components, because is not useful and to avoid ghosts...

remember_replaced_components no
