Working with Derived Parts
To work with derived components you must understand the following concepts:
- Saving derived parts to PLM
- Suppression and Break Link
- Opening a derived component
Saving a derived parts to PLM
Derived parts are represented in the PLM similar to assemblies. This representation is required to provide:
- Where Used, for one level in the WorkSpace tab, which will show both Parent Assembly /Drawing and Driven (Impacted) Parts.
- A report showing the impact of any change to a component on the complete hierarchy (i.e. all parent and/or all child parts).
Note: The integration will attempt to identify the unaccepted or
unapplied pending changes to parts, assemblies or drawings (flagged by Inventor with a
lightning bolt). If such cases can be identified, the following warning will appear:
One or more of the components in the structure you are saving has been impacted by a modification which has not been accepted. Click to continue with the Save Process or Cancel.
