Limitations

Following are the limitations:

• If a reference is created for a part file in the assembly within the context of that assembly, the child refers to the assembly file.
• When the assembly has no references. The part has a child reference which refers to the model assembly. In this case, the part file is the driver and the assembly file is driven. When this structure is saved to PLM, part file will have assembly file as impacted and assembly will have the part as driver.
• If the part file is non-editable, save is performed on the assembly that is editable, the existing driver references of the assembly will be deleted from PLM. The reason being that when the assembly is saved and the part is not editable, the references of the parts are not checked. Since the assembly doesn’t contain any references to the part, the link is not re-create and the driver reference is lost. Following screen shot illustrates how you can check the part references to identify a possible problem:
