Some of the modified dependent documents can only be saved in context of another

[Anonymous]

I have an assembly that was made by Tube&Pipes. For reasons outside my control we now need to use that complete assembly in another document. 

It is a very large assembly and redrawing the tubes runs etc. is not possible. 

I need to change descriptions of some of the parts. But after doing so I find that I can not save this changes

This is a huge problem. 

Is there a way to strip such assemblies from there Tube&Pipes restrictions? We will not change this assembly in the future.

We are having the same problem. Has anyone discovered what is cause of this saving error?

Hello @Anonymous,

The information is not clear for me. Would you mind share more details? What kind of modify for the descriptions in your side? Images/videos are all welcomed to demostrate the problem.

Thanks!

Hi! If I understood how T&P was designed to do correctly, the workflow you are trying to do might not be supported. You cannot take the Tube&Pipe subassembly from assembly A and place it to assembly B. What you need to do is to insert the assembly which contains the T&P subassembly into the new assembly. Or, you can use Copy Design workflow to make a brand new dataset independent of the original assembly.

Many thanks!

At the end, we redraw the design. So no workaround was found.

Hello everyone,

The easiest way I found to resolve this problem is :

1) Open the part named "Skeleton_0001" (for exemple) located inside your frame's folder and "Save a copy as" with a new name. IMPORTANT : You need to have your frame assembly closed.

2) Delete or rename the old skeleton file.

3) Open the new skeleton and save it.

4) Open the assembly "Frame_0001" (in the same folder as the skeleton part) and resolve the document by replacing the "Frame Reference model" with the new part you just created.

5) Reopen your main assembly and it should works.

If you have issues, after point 4, close everything, rename the assembly "Frame_0001", open your main assembly, replace the unresolved file with the assembly you renamed.

I hope it will help you resolving this problem.

Hi @Anonymous ,

I had the same error. I just created a new folder with a new project and copied all the parts and assemblies inside this new folder.

Thank you for this response, it helped a lot.

I didn't want to close the frame assembly, and lose any changes, so used the "save and replace" (in productivity) instead.

I also had a dialog box come up after the "Some of the modified dependent documents ..." box, which specified some of the frame members as having errors. I also replaced these, and now I can save all the files.
