restructure....

[design-engine]

restructure works one way or both?I have an assembly that has parts and a sub assembly. I can move parts into the sub assembly but sometimes I can not move the same parts back out. Thoughts?

One thingis ProE will allow you to move a parent into the subassembly and leave the children in thetop level assembly. If you try to move the parent from the subassembly back to the top level assembly ProE won't do it because ittries to place the parent after the child. You should see a message to the effect that the restructure was aborted due to attempts to place a parent after a child. If that's the case try to figure out what parts are children, move them to the subassembly, then try and use restructure and see if it lets you move the parts to the top level. Also check to see if you have a circular reference file.

I hear PTC will be changing this to let the user restructure both ways in a later build code of wf5. WF5 Does let the user preform group restructuring now.
