surface reference from together to part

[PAnz3r™]

Hello.

is re-designing a very old product of which the company for which I work has been in possession for years (about 10 ) but that has been realized in a way....not impeccable, let's say. original files were definitely made with an old version of pro-e..a wildfire 3 maybe or maybe even more dated.
to speed up some operations and maintain the desing I copied surfaces from the product's axieme within a part, activating it from the model tree. Unfortunately, after making other changes it seems that I create decided that the reference surface I copied is no longer available and therefore gives me error by making "crashare" all the features that referred to this copy surfaces. . .

for now I have only obvious re-creating an additional copy and going to re-make everything...which is really tedious and exhausting in time...the problem is that I have another part that is the mirror of the first but it was not created as a mirror, and so I should re-do everything from the end also for the other side....no way to "re-link" the feature copy? It seems really absurd

Thank you.

the copies of the surfaces you hold, do you need tied to the mother model together or do you want to make them completely independent?

copy geom is the tool that could serve you, but if you want to break the link of your surfaces copied with the initial file, instead of using the geom copy, use the independent geometry/comprehensive geometry, which allows you to independentize the surfaces copied from the reference model you copied from.

attention: if you are in the sheet module, the operation of independent the surfaces copied from the outside would make a more complicated peline if you have not available the copy geom( which is paid in the aax package if I am not mistaken), but with a trick it is resolved anyway

It would be better to make them independent, I never used that command, where exactly is it?

These resylings are to be done when you have the available copy geometry, with the simple surface copy, these things happen.
If you don't have the available copy geometry, the only one is copying the surfaces, creating later features, undeleteing them and deleting the copied surfaces.
other thing, avoid copying the features from a very old model to a new one (almost saves the sketches of the features of the old model), because although the old commands work on the new versions (ptc never converts the algorithms from one version to another), they can go into conflict anyway.

step by step what I say to you:

1) copy the surfaces in your part, activating it in the axieme, as I realized that you did

2)Go to the part, in the model tree where you copied the surfaces brings the red cursor insert here above the first surface you copied (then the surfaces will be disabled with the black dot under the red cursor)

3)Go to model-> get data--> independent geometry then click 2 times and the still empty command is placed in your model tree with still copied surfaces disabled under the cursor insert here

4)Load brings down your red cursor to the last copied surface that interests you to independent

5) select both surfaces and the independent geometry in the model shaft

6) with all that group of stuff selected in the template tree, go to the model tab-->editing--> collapse geometry

7) the warning message appears that you will not be able to go back (but chew), so press ok

fine.. you buried your surfaces over the centuries, now changes to the native file from which you copied the surfaces, will not affect your new part.

I hope I've helped you.

eye that collapse geometry implies that the part was made with creo 1.0 onwards.
If you are using a born part with another version, it does not work.

exactly what I was looking for....from time..thanks very kind

I don't remember if in the wf versions it was available, because then I used copy geom.

However in wf5/creo 1 the command is the same but the procedure is slightly different, there was to do the "double step of ronaldo" to make it work :d

ronaldo the "phenomeno", I mean
