Thank you Loori,

Its look like it is possible but there are some chance for data corruption would it be how ever we can test it can we use EPMMemberLink.newEPMMemberLink(epm, (EPMDependencyMaster) doc.getMaster());

to create a link or if you have any other way I can try using wgm api

Ankit,

While the EPMMemberLink API is supported, it is strongly discouraged by PTC Technical Support to use the API to create new member links. The process for creating the data and the links correctly is very complex, and there is a high possibility that such customizations could lead to data corruption.

Rather, we recommend using the CAD authoring tools to create the links between the CAD data.

Both of the following articles provides our stance on this:
