Hi,
maybe a beginner question... I get Pro/E assemblies from different parties regularly, so I've got a growing number of directories with a large amount of .prt and .asm-files in it.
How do I know what asm file is the top assy? In most cases, the sender tells me, or the name is obvious, but I've had cases where it's hard to find out afterwards, especially when we need to re-use an assy we received some years ago.
Is there a smart way of finding the right file, without trial and error??
Thanks!
Regards,
Jaap
There is a program called "findmymother" on this mcadcentral thread which may help.

I have not tried it, but others say that it works.
Hi,
ah, yes, hadn't thought of that... I knew Findmymother, but hadn't linked it to my problem 🙂
Just tried it, by picking a random part, and finding it's parent. I repeated the process until no parent was found anymore, and this was indeed the top assy.
Nice tool!
Thanks all for the reactions,
kind regards, Jaap
