Assembling assemblies

[w.peetoomPU6B6]

I have some problems with assembling assemblies. I want to put in my model external linked assemblies. This is the way I do it now:

- Insert the external assembly in my model

- Make a rigid group of the external assembly

- Position the external assembly with the joint command to my model.

So far, so good. The imported assembly keeps its origin and sketches at the right place. But now comes the problem:

- An extra component is added to the external assembly

- The model is updated

- The new component appears in the wrong location relative to the external assembly

- The position of the new component is at the original location of the external assembly, before the positioning with the joint command.

- The origin of the external assembly is also moved to the original location

I like to now how to position the external assembly and keep everything in the right place.

What I've found I need to do is roll the timeline back to the rigid group and delete it reapply a new rigid group then roll the timeline to the end and it all seems OK. I've never been able to edit the original rigid group and get it to pick up the new assembly.
