How to break bond between parent and child

jens_clemmensen738jens_clemmensen738 Member Posts: 4

Hallo:)

I have a part with different variables assigned to it. How can I make a copy of it, and break the bond between parent and child, so that it dosn’t affect the copied part, when I change the variables of the original part?

Regards

    You may want to try configurations instead of copying parts.

    Sorry to break your heart Ste.😋

    By the way, The variables can be changed two ways. Change can be made in the table on mas. When you select which box to view the variables for that part can be changed in the feature tree with out opening the configuration list.

    It's not necessary to include variables in the feature tree but it provides nice column header names.
