Resolving Incomplete Dependents from the Information Page
You can resolve incomplete dependents using the Replace or Add Placeholder actions.
Using the Replace Action
The Replace action enables you to resolve an incomplete dependency by replacing a missing object with an object from the Windchill database. This action is only available from the information page of an incomplete object.
|
|
While the replace command allows you to select a document to replace the incomplete object, it does not guarantee that the object it is replaced with is the correct dependent. If it is replaced with an incorrect dependent, CATIA V5 can still refuse the link.
|
To replace an incomplete object:
1. From the information page of an incomplete object, select Replace from the actions menu. The Replace page appears.
2. Enter the document’s filename in either field, depending on if the file is stored in the active workspace or the common space.
Clicking Cancel returns you to the information page without replacing the incomplete object.
3. Click Ok to replace the incomplete object with the selected document.
All the parents of the incomplete object in the workspace are updated to reflect the selected object and the incomplete object is deleted.

|
If the parents are in a CATIA V5 session, reopen the CAD parent assembly in CATIA V5 to see the changes. To persist the changes after replacing the incomplete object, upload the documents.
