draft from identical component copied with connection.

[Bobo75]

often happens that the same component, made of two different materials, has two different codes. This involves the realization of two different draft boards and two different parts. only one is the exact copy of the other.
based on what they explained here the operation to do is copy the original part with connection on a new part, and then add the body that you genre to that base.
in my logic, I open the original file draft, save it with the new name and then change the links linking the new article code with different material. . .
However, by doing catia, I don't recognize the file and I always have to do the table again, losing a lot of time in practice for nothing because they are two identical pieces.
Does anyone know how I can do that to avoid this?
thanks in advance

you have to save the original catpart with a new name using the save command as.

you will get the same uuid (click in the forum).

then point the design on the new created file.

Let us know

Hello, falonef, I think that's exactly what I did. .
basically first save by name the file I need with its code, then I delete everything and copy/neck with connection from the base file the body.
In this way I save the table and connect it perfectly.
This is the only problem, and here I ask for lumens because I don't know how to do it, I miss all the links of quotas, which I am forced to reconnect one by one.
If there are any suggestions to solve this thing I did bingo...
Thank you.

I don't understand what you're saying with gates all over and then cop incolli. . .

I make a practical example.
I have two mouths that are identical, one in stainless steel and one in brass. If I make a change on the inox, I need the brass one to update. based on what they explained to me, I have to copy the body of that in stainless steel in a new body with connection.
but if I leave from a clean part it generates a new uuid and then if I try to reconnect the already made table does not recognize me the file and does not.
So what I did:
1. except by name the stainless mouth in brass mouth
2. from the brass mouth tree gate all the building features of the same
3. reopen the stainless mouth
4. cover the full body of the stainless mouth
5. brass and special neck with connection
6. I check the material I need and possibly do the different processing that there are if there are
7. I open the table of the stainless mouth and save it by name in brass mouth
8. I open the links of the table and tell her to link to the part of the brass mouth
at this point the table recognizes the part and links all the views perfectly, except that the quotas that are already indicated, are not recognized, become pink and I must reconnect all with the "reinstrada quota".
I wanted to know if there was a way to prevent me from reconnecting all odds one by one.

 

[falonef]

once you relinked saves everything. close the session reopens the new design, the odds will appear red, goil on links and tip of the new his catpart even if he points it already.

the design should demand an update after which the odds should appear correct

 

[Bobo75]

then I linked again, asks me to update, if I make quotas become violet and not red. If except for everything, I close, I link again, the quotas remain violet and I must link them back. . .
Am I wrong?

I would not simplify too much. .
Since you said the only difference is the material and code
can't you save the catdrawing of the mouth_ottone in the mouth_inox and change the material and code of the detail in the cartiglio?
the two catdrawings would point on the same catpart

 

[Bobo75]

it would be beautiful, but I will also have different assemblies that will also need different parts, so unfortunately it is not possible to walk this way.
with the cad of before there was the family of parts that could go very well for this situation. it generated n parts of the father, also editable with different processes but on the same basis, and they were usable independently both in the assemblies and as tables.
for our sector it is not unusual to have to do things like this, even at the level of finishes. I put the raw in the table but in the axieme I put the chromed piece, or painted or other, and have obviously different codes.
in the latter case fortunately there is no problem of the table regarding the single part, because you do not make a table of the component in finishing, but I think there might be for the table of the exploded.
different finishes will have different distinct base.. .
I'll think about that in due time, even if it doesn't miss much... I'll get something. For now I'm more concerned with the discourse of lost quotas.

 

[Vittorio]

then there is the plan "b"
you have to create a catpart call it "master"

copy with connection the partbody of the master in a catpart and call it "bocca_ottone"
make the table of the catpart "bocca_ottone" quotating it completely.

then with saving management with name the catpart mouth_ottone in catpart mouth_inox and the catdrawing mouth_ottone in catdrawing mouth_inox

modifying the master catpart... automatically update all catdrawing without having quotas to redirect

I like this one.
I did this round as written above by myself, but next (and soon there will be a next one ) I try as you say. It is about finding the right approach
