How should we proceed to break the ties of the old references

3D Design Volume Model

Hello

A colleague wants to create a plan (BN6404) based on an old plan BN10649
When we get the old drawing, we keep the link to the old reference.
Despite the change of reference, the link is not broken.

 

Kind regards.

Hello

Right-click on the component in the tree and then click on List external references and "break".

Spring:

If it concerns a plan in the PDM, it must be extracted, broken and then re-archived.

Hello, what version of the software are you using? Because if it is an insertion of a part in another part, for quite some time we had this problem of reference that remained despite the removal of the body.

 

Kind regards

Thank you for your answer

I don't have an external link for the drawing, the same goes for the part in solidworks.

 I inserted the old part and deleted it again, this method solved my problem.
