Linked Document

breno_cruciolibreno_crucioli Member Posts: 5 EDU
In my current document, I have a subassembly where linked documents are located. This subassembly is located in my Main Assembly. When I create a new version of the "linked document" and update it in my subassembly, it works perfectly, but when I open my Main Assembly the changes are not there. Why does it happen?

    Hi Breno,
    Did you create a new version of the sub-assembly?
    Regards,

    Hi Andy. No, I didn't. My subassembly is not a linked document, it is an assembly inside my Main Assembly.

    I cannot re-create this behavior unless i set the subassembly to a version as well.
    Are you sure your sub assembly isn't set to a version of the main document?
    Try setting a new version in the main document (that holds the assemblies) and see if you get the blue link on your subassembly

    Hi lana, it is not possible because my project is Confidential. Thank you for your help.

    Hi john_mcclary. I tried to create a new version of my document as you said, but my status doesn't change. The think is, when I create a new version of my "linked document" the blue link is available in the "linked parts" inside my "subassembly". But when I click in the Main Assembly (inside the same document) the changes of my "subassembly" are not there.

    If your document is confidential you will need to submit your question using the feedback tool in your document

    There is no "Feedback" tool, there is "Report a bug".

    Could be because you are EDU, I'm sure it's the same thing

    It's ok. Thanks for your help, I'll try it that way. I was not sure if my question was a bug or just did not know how to use Onshape.
