Additions in an Assembly not reflected in Parts

Leon Whotton May 12, 2016 5:53 AM

I am currently working on an assembly file, which i have added a series of ANSI Flanges from the deign library, but unfortunately the changes i have made are not reflected in the Part File or a drawing file.

I have made sure the 'no external references' box is un-checked, i have saved changes but still cannot work out why?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If you added those to assembly file then those would be separate files and will not be added to part files.

  Hi Deepak
  
  Oh Ok thanks for that.
  
  So can i add items from the design library into a part file?
  
  I am not sure what is meant by a derived part?

    Derived parts means parts made with help from other part. Like when you insert a part into part and then build your part further.

      Deepak,
      Would this be what he is missing?

        NO as he is adding parts into assembly from routing library.

        ok I misunderstood and thought he was trying to make changes to the parts he brought in.

I'm afraid I don't understand. What changes would you expect in a Part file when adding Parts to an Assembly?
