different product reference elements

[jackpasq]

Good evening

I'm doing a study in which I'm creating electrical wiring, I've noticed that I can't always give tangency in cabling crossing points by selecting reference elements of another product, for example, a line, a ban symbol appears to me and so I'm forced to copy the element in my active product. On another occasion I failed to intersect my sketch with the wiring of another product appeared to me the usual symbol, someone can help me I can not understand why, maybe I unknowingly set something?
Thank you in advance

Hi.

in your question you're talking about "active product", but I imagine you're referring to an "active part". . .

a product is the set of several parts, and allows you to place and bind each other the details, while the actual modeling is performed in the part (the part that at that time is active) and generally happens by copying the references ("external" of other parts) in the active part.
However, these references are explicit and not parametric.

If you want to maintain the parameter connection, you need to change the system settings:

tools/options/infrastructure/part infrastructure/general/external references
check: retains the connection with the selected object
but I also recommend you:
check: confirms the creation of a link with the selected object (in this way choose whether to use the explicit or parametric reference).

You need to know what you do well, if you change one part without thinking how it interacts with the other, you can have problems.
Moreover if you delete the product or part, you will lose the links (see the embossed post "work in context").

As for the problem that in a sketch you cannot intersect a wiring of another part, it seems strange to me... normally this happens only when the selected object is in display mode or with the deactivated node or if you select an unsuitable entity (a product, a part instead of a geometry etc.)
better if you insert an image that shows the problem and also the tree.

Let me know.

Hello thank you for the answer.. .
only now I find the time to answer. . . .
to partially solve my problem I had to do the defining contextual link of cablings.. .
in this work I have different context problems, the problem is that I can't identify what exactly are the elements that create the conflict.I would like that within my study there are also parts made with the surfaces, one part represents a metallic stocking and another represents a protective thermo-restringent stocking.... is there a command that tells me what the elements-legislatives are, which create the context? how can I delete the context without going crazy?

Hi.
also here I add a bit of bar chatter:
to see (evidenced, not shouted) what is the situation of the links you have, in the meantime two possibilities:
1) file/desk shows you the links of active files at that time in your caty session. should (I have to check at work) show you links even with non-active files.
2) dx key on the file that interests you, links. you have the situation of which elements are connected externally to the file you are analyzing.

I feel, however, that I can share 100% of what it says in my life and clarify what links/dependence/problems are between the various files before acting. because if you go to "cut" a correct link or create a "loop connection" between two files you risk having to throw your job and/or that of others.
