V5 ref-ref links, part not showing changes upon open.

[rileyman]

Hi

I am working with a collegue whose model i am referencing using a ref-ref link between two catparts (not in a product)
I am using some data from his part with links to drive a surface in my model.
The files are stored in a directory together, we are not using any form of PDM.
My problem is that i can have my part open and use edit links to open my collegues part and syncronise and update fine. Then i close only my collegues part and carry on work on my part. He then informs me that he has changed his geometry, and saved his CATPART, so i again open his part with edit links - open pointed doc but i still get the old data.
Is the model stored somewhere that i don't know like a CATPART cache (not dmu cache)?
When i have closed his CATPART i can still see it on the desk view.

Is there anyway to unload a pointed document so that i can be sure to get the new data?

At the moment to get his new data i have to also close my pert and then re-open.

I'm using r11 sp5 on a Sun.

Hi,

We do know this pb for a long time, we raised a PMR I hope DS is working on that...

The only way to remove that loaded and closed part from memory is to close CATIA. Cleaning CATSetting or other file is not necessary.

Sorry about that, I know it is not the solution you are waiting for but I guess it's the only one available so far.

Closing down V5 is sufficient.
