How can I break these two relationships?

[yta10]

Hello,

I put two parts in assembly. I just copied and pasted the exact same parts.

Now that I want to create holes and put bolts using bolt-connection, 

It creates holes in the two parts.

But i want to creates hole in just one part.

Thank you!

Hi there,

These 2 parts is still under the same name. So when you modified one it will change the other.

To break these relationship, you should choose 1 part and use "save and replace" function to save one of them under a different name. It will break the relationship from now on.

Kind regards

Thank you!

Does this function breaks other previous relationships and constrains?

Hi! Yes, Marshall is right. The two parts essentially are the same. They point to the same ipt file. As a result, the sketch is there and the features are there. If you change one, the other will be changed too.

Like Marshall said, to separate the two, you will need to save it as a different file and replace it with the new part. Another way is to use Copy Component command to create a duplicate file (different file) and then replace the existing one with the new one.

Many thanks!
