Hi,
I created a derived part and I broken the link with its parent. Is there a way to relink the two parts?
Autodesk Inventor 2011
Thanks in advance.

You might try opening an old version from before you broke the link.
I haven't checked - but I sure hope so.
I expect Break Link to do exactly what it says.

Hi,
Sorry, I should have been more clear.
Yes, break link should do as expected. I was hoping that in 2015 we might have a better way to relink to a part file.

I found a way to do this and have posted it here:
Recently one of our users just asked me this, and I found the solution was not posted here yet. To anyone who may benefit from this, you can always re-derive the component in your part:
--> Inventor derived component "B" has broken link to component "A", and needs re-attaching to update with changes to component "A": open component "B" and select to "Derive" again, then after finishing this operation delete the previous broken derive item from the part.
