Using the Remove Function in a Catia Product

[Ironhusky]

Can anyone tell me how I can use the Remove Function in Product mode to remove a Body from a Component without it removing it from all the instances of that component? I only want to remove it from the one instance.

Hello,

First, we need to understand what Instance of a Part/Product is.
Instances of a Part/Product in an Assembly are referencing the relevant Part/Product file. Changes we make on an Instance are performed directly on the referenced file ie will affect all instances of the relevant Part/Product in our root assembly.

What you can do to solve your problem is:

Method No1
[ul]
[li]Save the relevant referenced Part/Product with different name and Part Number.[/li]
[li]In your Root Assembly, and for the subject subject Instance replace the referenced doc with the newly created Part/Product doc.[/li]
[/ul]
Now you can do what you want.

Method No2

Use different Representations for the subject instance.

I hope it helps.

Impossible is nothing.

i had the same problem, remove was visible on all instance even if define on one only.
you could open a SR / PMR and see what DS says
