Q2. After renaming the file name of a part, the part cannot be opened with the parent product. How can i restore the link?

  • For example, rename a part file from Metal_arm_a.CATpart to Metal_arm_b.CATpart (Fig.1). When we reopen its parent Product (Basket_assm_a.CATproduct), a warning window pops up, saying that the file cannot be found. (Fig.2)

  • Click "Desk" button.

  • Right-Click on the error part and select "Find...". Then select the new file "Metal_arm_b.CATpart" (Fig.3)

  • Close the window

  • The new part appears.

  • File/Save all. Next time, the system will open the new part.
