About Converting Multiple Occurrences of non-Creo Components
The Convert all occurrences of the components in other assembly levels check box is selected by default on the Convert to new Creo models dialog box. All occurrences of a non-Creo component and its chain of non-Creo parent assemblies are converted by default to Translated Image Models (TIMs) and are replaced. The occurrences of a component across all occurrences of the parent models are also converted to TIM parts and assemblies.

If you intend to modify an occurrence of a non-Creo component, you must clear the default selection of the Convert all occurrences of the components in other assembly levels check box on the Convert to new Creo models dialog box. You can then convert the occurrence of the component to a Creo TIM part or assembly and modify this single occurrence of the non-Creo component in Creo. The occurrence of the non-Creo component that you modified is then different in design from all the other occurrences of the non-Creo component. The modified occurrence of the component is a separate business object within the same assembly model.
When a non-Creo assembly model is used multiple times in a parent assembly, if you select a set of non-Creo components in an occurrence of the non-Creo assembly model, you must make sure that you consistently select the same set of non-Creo components in every other occurrence of the non-Creo assembly.
If you are not consistent in selecting the same set of non-Creo components in each occurrence of the assembly model, a message alerts you that the selected sets of non-Creo components failed to convert because they are in conflict in the multiple occurrences of the assembly model. The message prompts you to again select the components for conversion. You can use the advanced conversion tools in the Convert to new Creo models dialog box to confirm the selection of the correct set of the non-Creo components in all occurrences of the assembly model.
