Resolve inter-part links


When you copy a document that contains inter-part links, you have the opportunity to resolve the inter-part links. For information on how these links are created and managed in QY CAD, see Inter-Part associativity.

Caution:

The action you select in this dialog box can affect any documents open in the current session that are driving or driven by an inter-part link to the selected document. For example, if the selected document is a part that is driven by an inter-part link to another part in the same assembly, then the action you choose can affect both of the parts as well as the parent assembly.

  1. At the top of the dialog box, note that the system displays the name of the selected document containing inter-part links.

  2. Choose how you want to resolve the inter-part links. You can:

    • Depending on the operation you selected to launch the Inter-Part Links dialog box, either Save As or Revise, you have the option to:

      • Copy all linked documents—Creates copies of the linked driving and driven documents and links them to the new copy of the selected document. The original copies of all documents are preserved along with their inter-part links. No inter-part links are broken. The Action on the linked documents is set to Save As.

        Note:

        This same action is applied recursively to any additional documents with inter-part links to these linked documents, in any other level of the currently open structure. You are not prompted again regarding these additional documents.

      • Revise all linked documents—Revises the linked driving and driven documents. The Action on the linked documents is set to Revise.

    • Update links to the new document—Updates all inter-part links in the driving and driven documents to the new copy of the selected document. The inter-parts links in the original copy of the selected document will be broken. The Action on the linked documents is set to Update.

    • Keep driven links with the existing document. The inter-part link will be broken in the new document.—Creates a new copy of the selected document, but the inter-part links from the driven documents remain with the original copy of the selected document.
