I hope I can clearly communicate what I want to do. I have template products that I "new from" often. Such as a machine table with a vise and the 4th axis assembly on it. The components for these products (the machine table, the vise parts, the 4th axis parts...) all reside in a master folder hierarchy.
I wish to better organize this hierarchy, but will be breaking possibly hundreds of links to work I have done over the past year or so.
My first train of thought was to open all applicable products at the same time and "find" the common components in my new hierarchy using the Desk, then save the products. This sounded logical to me, but experience with CATIA dictates that logic isn't necessarily the best route. My attempt did not work. The new link seemed to only save for one product and none of the others.
Can someone guide me on how to achieve what I am looking for, short of one-by-one opening,finding, saving a year worth of work?
