Question

Copying family tables along with drawing and assembly. "Save a copy"

While using "Save a copy" for my assembly, I managed to capture/rename and save the drawing and all the lower assemblies and parts with the new part number, but the system delete my family tables. In other words, it saves the instances as standalone parts. Is there anything in config that I need to address to capture the family tables as well?

All suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks,

Diane

Config option that have helped, (thinking there is someting I am missing in this process.)

Diane,

We typically recommend copying files within Windchill instead of within Creo. I believe Creo will only copy files that are currently in session. Therefore, if the family table instances aren't in session they won't be copied. Windchill Save As will allow you to select dependents, drawings, family tables, etc. to copy using the configuration options.

Diane, are you able to successfully use the Workspace Save As functionality instead?
