Importing CAD Objects involving Family Tables
In the target system, CAD Object A.1 is marked as ready for replication. This status also applies to its associated Family Table FT1 A.1 and instances Instance001 A.1 and Instance003 A.1.

When importing the package, CAD Object A.1 is not overwritten on the target system because of version discrepancies. A non-overridable conflict arises for Instance003 A.1, which exists only on the target system and cannot be overwritten by an instance from the source system’s Family Table. As a result, the entire package import fails, since all Family Table members on the target system must be overwritten together.
If you re-import the package and choose to skip FT1 A.1 and Instance001 A.1, the system ignores these during import. However, it still attempts to import the link between FT1 A.1 and Instance002 A.1. Since the generic (FT1 A.1) was skipped and Instance002 A.1 exists only on the source system, the link cannot be resolved as Instance002 A.1 cannot locate its generic. This causes the package import to fail again.

If you mark a Family Table and its identical instances as ready for replication on the target system, but later choose to skip them during import, and unidentical instances are not marked as ready for replication, the import fails. This is because instances available only on the source system cannot locate their generic on the target system, resulting in unresolved dependencies and failed import.
