Bye to all,
I read in the forum something about the context but the situation is still not very clear to me.
In practice I have a product that contains three parts (part1, part2 and part3), created in order as well as are numbered.
I build a plate with four holes in part1, then step in part2 and build another plate on which I carry the same holes of the part1 keeping active the connection with the elements in order to make every possible change of position the holes between the two plates.
as next step I activate the part3 and build another plate with three holes that I would like to bring back on the part2 as I previously did between part2 and part1 with the result however that this operation is not allowed to me unless I isolate the part.
the question is: why can't I point elements that depend in turn on other elements? Is there any option to activate or is it a software limit?
I hope I've been quite clear even though I realize that the matter is a little twisted, thanks anyway to all.
 
So, to understand your problem, you should understand what you did from the beginning.
the "context" or "context" is an interesting tool but must be used with caution.
when you create a product and "butts" within the various components (parts or assembled that are) these will live from their own life until you use the "context". at the moment when you use the "context" the components you have inserted will be connected to each other and on the component icon will appear a small blue ring on the bottom left.
contextuality can be generated in various ways but you have to be careful not to send the particular in "looping" otherwise the system, in fact, does not even make you generate it.
in your case if in part2 you create geometries that somehow depend on part1 then you have created a contextuality between part1 towards part2 in the assembly and in the product you will find the icon of the part2 component with the blue ring.
if in part3 you created geometries then again create other geometries in part2 dependent on part3. again the part2 will be for the second time contextualized in the product.
the "context" is monodirectional i.e. if you have done so that the particular part2 depends on the part1 you cannot (and here is the classic error signaled by the system) create a bond of other geometries making sure that the part1 depends on the part2.
the casino happens obviously when you start to "intrecciare" with the particular context moilti.
At this point, hoping you didn't create confusion, your problem will certainly be that you will have already created contexts without realizing it.
go to the product, double click on the particular "part2", go under the change tendon then link, will open a window that will tell you to whom the particular part2 is linked and in what "context/assembly" has been created.

I don't want to create any further doubts but to "scap" from contextuality you may use copy-paste command with connection but outside the assembly. in this way you do not create contextuality but you always have the connection between the parts. attention to zero reference between the various parts...but this is another story.

confirming that the contextualization is monodirectional you have perfectly centered the problem, in fact it was what I was assuming too.
the other thing I noticed is that creating first part1 and then part2 in the same product you can contextualize only part2 towards part1 and not vice versa, it would seem as if the links had a link that somehow also depends on the creation history of the parts.
Is it, or is it a problem that depends on something else?
 
no depends on the order with which you create the parts in the axieme, try for sempio to move a modeled part at the same time upstream of the father and you will see that nothing happens, perhaps the probelma arises from a loop that can be created between contextual modeling and the constraints of together.

It is true, I tried to do it more calmly and actually does not depend on the creation history but only on the monodirectional link that is created in contextualizing two parts.
Thank you all for your help.
 
even if I found the explanation very detailed, I still have not understood the usefulness of this contextual mode.
when is it useful to use it?
I have just started working on it because in the company it is required to create products with contextual parts but even if I create them “isolated” I have no problems with changes, updates etc...
Can you clear my mind even more?

thanks and greetings
