Save As of EPM Document which references other EPM Documents

Dear community,

 

We have a case, that a user used references within Creo for hole postions in Part B from Part A.

 

When he now wants to create a copy of Part B, Windchill always wants to also create a copy of Part A. I have a feeling this should be preference which can be set, that the system does create a third part (call it Part C) which is a copy of Part B including the references to Part A.

 

Do you know of such a preference or how to handle such a case?

 

Thanks in advance and BR

Check the preferences for the collector associated to the Save-As option.

this controls what items are added by default when you clicked to do the save-as. Note that the collected items can be changed manually by the user to include or remove items from that list.

    Hi,

     

    We tried this as well, also deactivating or removing collected items, but then we get the following error message:

     

    "Cannot copy the documents listed in this circular dependency because some of them have not been selected for copying. Mark either all or none of the documents for copying."

    Even though there is no circular dependency. Selecting then the option copy all, creates a copy of all the EPM documents, Copy none also skips the initally selected EPM Document.
