Hi,
I have a drum I want to weld (to do calculations), so I need to make 2 welds on it, to weld together the core and sides in the assembly I did try to make a part(s), but I get a “Reference restricted by Environment scope was selected. Confirm to copy entity”. This is going to create a circular reference, if I’m not wrong.
So therefore I wonder what I can do with that, if anything. Are there other solutions I could use, since I’m looking to make this as reusable as possible next time I want to copy/use the project?
This project had circular references and I had big problems copying it from the last project in windchill/workspace.
I have looked into the weld-tool, but as far as I can see, the weld does not add mass, and since we make very large equipment, I need the weight on the weld, and I also need it to make calculations later on. When I tested the weld-tool, the mass of the weld did not show up in the assembly.

The warning you are getting doesn't necessarily imply that it is going to create a circular reference. It's just that your settings have been setup in such a way that this type of external reference is prohibited. You can turn off these notifications and/or adjust your settings to allow these kinds of references if needed.
Here's what I've done in the past:
This is just a summary, let me know if you need any additional details.
