    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi guys,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;first of all: we are using IV 2016 with vault.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Our company is constructing special-machines.&amp;nbsp;Every machine is different but uses same components.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Some example:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Project a)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cutter-Unit with several sub-folder, assemblies and part&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Project b)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Complete machine where one part of it is the&amp;nbsp;cutter-unit&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Project c)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Complete different machine which also includes the cutter-unit&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Earlyer we used only one Project with several sub-folders. This had a massive problem:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;We couldn't prevent that someone, somewhere referenced a part from a different project. If someone modifies this part now because he doesn't know it is referenced from a different machine,&amp;nbsp;he "destroys" the other project as it does not represent the real&amp;nbsp;status again.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thats why we changed our structure and use one project (ipj) for each machine now.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But what is the best way to use sub-assemblys now? Is there a function I don't know to use sub-projects?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;From software-development I know something called sub-modules (git).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;CU&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;mts&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
