Ammon,
Going back to your original post, external references are absolutely worth it! They provide associative links from the parent part to all the children parts. Making changes to the parent part will automatically be passed on to the children part through the linked geometry in the External References branch.
Yes - you will have problems if you try to change the external reference geometry in the children part, because those changes should be made in the parent part instead.
If you must change the copied geometry, then isolate it first to break the link and then make the change. |
