Edit CC Parts to have iMates

[Tradeiteasy]

I currently have to palce a lot of parts from the content center into an assembly and miss essential imates for easy placement.

I am using IV2010 at the moment and have no clue where to start.

I have tried copying a new instance of a part into a new library. I then placed this component in the assembly hoping I could add iMates to it in the assembly environment. But when I want to save I get the message that the part has not been checked out for me to use even though I have read/write access to the library.

So a couple of questions here:

As files in the CC are saved in a datapase and not as part files, can imates be included in that database?

Do I really need to recreate the part from scratch, and then publish it to the library?

How would it be possible to open up a CC file like in the part edit mode in an assembly?

Any reply is greatly appreciated...
