How to save a large assembly without re-saving parts

Paul Birkner Nov 13, 2017 10:48 AM

I frequently end up copying large assemblies/ drawings to update 1 or 2 components and change the name. When I "save as" a new name, I get prompted to save EVERY SINGLE SUB COMPONENT. I don't want to do this and I don't want to have to click "save" or "cancel" hundreds of times when I copy a large assembly. Is there a way to avoid this?

Paul,
I think pack & go will be your friend here. You will be able to go through the assembly and change the names of any item you want before saving the assembly. Select file > pack and go , and you should be able to follow the prompts from there.

Hello Paul.
Did you solve your problem with "save as" of assemblies. I'm sitting with the same problem. I wonder that there is no function that can be selected so as to avoid saving and renaming?
