Reload/Re-Import updated CAD Step file

Hi everyone,

maybe it is a simple question but I need to make sure there is a better way to work with revisions on a CAD-model instead to re-write the whole program with every revision that is coming up.

My question: I have written and run a program in PC-DMIS 2014 based on a CAD-Model (let's say Rev. A). Now our customer made a change (Rev. B) to the part, respectively to the drawing/CAD-model. The existing program is pretty long. Is there a way to import the new Revision (Rev. B) of the CAD-model without loosing the existing work? Just add or delete the sections they are revised or new.

Hope anybody is able to help.

Thanks,
Thomas

Hm, I imported the new revision and said merge, but the part is somewhere in the area and is not on top of the exisiting one. Do you have any idea why?

Either the CAD in your program was translated, or the CAD location changed during the revision. I'm guessing the former.

If you go into Edit>Graphics Display Window>CAD Assembly, you can highlight either CAD and in the top left area, it will show you what offsets were used, if any.
