If the part to be removed is connected to a CAD document the system will ask if you would like to make the same change in the CAD document structure.

Auto Create Occurrences – Creates occurrences equal to the quantity of child parts used by a selected assembly part. Occurrences are also created recursively for parts used by sub-assemblies of the selected part.

The system requires you to confirm this action before proceeding and displays a message when the occurrences have been created. View the resulting occurrences by clicking the Occurrences tab in the part structure browser. One table row is displayed for each occurrence.
