references not being updated after editing

Good Evening,

 

this is my first time I wanted to use references. I was forced by the improvements over normal duplicating etc. to use them. Everything worked fine until now. I have created a screw-nut a screw and a grid. Before I have finished the screw-nut I have positioned all my screws into the holes of the grid 48 in total because I thought every change that I made will automatically be applied to the grid inside my "main" file. Unfornutally the screws are still without nuts. I don't want to reposition everything after I added something new on the screws etc.

 

So my setup is as follow:

 

nut.ma       | 1 nut

screw.ma     | 1 screw + 1 nut           <- added the nut (parented it to the screw)

grid.ma      | 1 grid  + 4 screws

case.ma      | 1 case  + 12 grids        <- still the old screws with no nuts

 

It's like inheritance and I thought it would be great but yeah ... this kind of issue sucks

 

I am adding new references via the add reference button within the reference editor.

 

Is there something I do wrong or is there even a better way to handle this kind of "workflow"?

 

-*Gosh...Can't find the correct font again*-

 

Regards,
