Where used.............. 2

[CAD2015]

NX has a tool named "Where used" which unable users to find out where a Part belongs to(which assembly this component is part of).
How could I get in Catia information about a part's links to an assembly?

Thanks

this is more a plm than a cad function. so don't search in catia but in enovia (vpm, VPLM, ...) you will find your where used there.

Hi,

You have to tell us which scenario are you using:

1. CATIA with a PLM system (as Eric said)
2. CATIA without PLM, files based on network/local hard disks.

What kind of info you want to get ? In first case all is there, a simple query will give you almost everything, depending on how PDM system was implemented and what you want to get...

For second case, I suppose you want to get info for files loaded in CATIA session?

Hi Fernando,
Second case is my option that I'm expecting an answer from.
I am not required to use any PDM system on my daily Catia tasks yet.
Thanks,

I need to know (as an exemple) what assembly use the part that I have opened.......

You can find the path to part but I believe is not what you want...

OK, what you need is a workaround, there is nothing (as far as I know) like you want. Workaround would be to save all CATProducts like txt files (a script can be created to do it on a regular time based) then you can use Windows search to search inside all txt files what you want or...if you are aloud to use a File Manager like Total Commander or something similar you can search for a text string inside the folders where you have the catproducts....
