Rules for Using Revise
Consider these rules for using the Revise action:
The Revise action maintains synchronization among the CAD document of the generic part, the part family associated with the generic part, and the CAD documents of individual family members.
You are not required to revise the generic part and/or other family members if you selected an individual instance to be revised. However, the recommended practice is to revise the entire family together.
Your administrator can set a server-side preference that determines whether the entire family is included in the Revise action. By default, the revise collector preference for family is set to All, and the entire family is included for the Revise operation.
