hello.
I have an assembly AsmA with parts, let's say PartA PartB PartC . I saved this assembly as new assembly AsmB and leaved the same parts names ,just renamed partC to PartC1... it works.
Then I created some feature (in part level) in asm AsmA in activated PartA . The feature is depend on PartB (I used some edges of PartB as references). This feature is obviously in partA in AsmB too. But I cannot edit the feature in asmB because it was created in different assembly. This never mind.
Now I need to save the AsmA as a new asm. with new name of partC but the parts A and B reuse. It doesn't allow to reuse PartA because it references renamed AsmA. What to do about this?
I work in creo 3
thanks for help

in more complex situation you can:

Michal,
maybe https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS190735 contains an explanation.

Hello, thanks for reply... Yes,This document just explains why the parts cannot be reused, this is clear for me.
I've already solved it in such way that I deleted the feature, save as new assembly, and recreated the feature in original asmbly again. Fortunately it is only one simple feature so not too much work. But in the case of many parts or features with external reference... it's too much work.
I just looked for some setting or some way how to turn off this dependency checking in this case.
