import part

[MARINA221171]

hello,

I create a new part file
I want to import a part file using file -->import-->part... and the imported solids to be associative with the original part file (like wave link)
is it possible?

thanks
Dimitris

Why not directly create the Wave link...
That is exactly doing what you would like without importing the 3D data first...

I think that you need the Wave Engineering license to have associativity between files which don't have a common assembly structure.
The workaround is to use a "link structure" , a separate assembly which is only used to maintain links like these.
So instead of
partA (Master) -> partB (slave)

Link_assy_1
|-partA (master)
|-partB (slave)

where you make partB the work part and then link whatever from partA.
Note that you need to keep and open the Link_assy_1 to update.

Once a WAVE link has been creatred there is no need to save the Assemble file used while creating the WAVE link(s) irrespective of whether you have an WAVE Engineering license or not. Granted, there are some additional tools available with a WAVE license that makes it easier to work with 'position independent' WAVE objects, but it's not absolutely required.

I just learn't something
Yes, you can delete the temporary assembly , if you make sure that you load the master in the same session when you need to update.
( there are options to do this in the load options. - Load Load parents: Immediate)
And that the position is correct when created.

or you can use promote body

actually what you have to do is import the part using assemblies and then either use promote body or wave
