Why after the save as of the component in one of sub-assembly the reference is missing?

Hello Roberto

Is it possible for you to share the assembly (and all its sub assemblies) that you shown in the video, for investigating this issue?

Naresh Patre 

we can send them to you, the subgroups have all been created by the same component

Hello Roberto Can you attach the model(s) here? I guess those are generic and can be uploaded here. If not, let me know and I will send you a separate link for uploading.

Hi, I can attach them right away.
Thank you

Thanks for sharing the model. The reason behind this failure is that component 2 is actually a copy of component 1. Unlike component1 which is a separate scdoc file, component 2 is not a separate file. If you have component2 as a separate file, then the saving will work fine. I have created a similar test case to demonstrate this behavior. In the attached model, if you follow the same steps as you shown in the video, you can see that component2 gets saved with a new name and is also reflected in both the assemblies of the main file.

Hello Naresh,

thank you for your answer but ... I'm sorry I can't be agree with you.

- First of all in the previously version the behavior was correct and not like now.

- Second, even if a component is a copy of another one is not possible that the software "destroys" the assembly references and leave a message saying that there was an assembly....or the software makes the replacing in right way or at least does nothing ... but cannot make damages!!

Marco Checcoli Thanks for your reply. Let me discuss this with the development team and let you know.

Thank you Naresh Patre

Roberto In the example you shared, it can be noticed that Component2 is instanced as external as well as internal. See below image.

Somehow, I was unable to create such instances at my end and would like to know how you were able to create internal and external instance of Component2. This will help to investigate this issue further.

Hi Naresh,

in the attached video you can see that in this case the icon that represents Internal or External component are “not true” (bom continues shows them as the same component). The separation between the two components icon happens when we make external sub-assembly “asm_01”.
