Play Inspection Part Update

Post by dschroder »

Working on an inspection project with several different pieces that need reports made. I started out with the first piece and added the features and dimensions that I wanted then added the next piece and performed the same inspection. I realized after adding the second piece that I needed to add cross sectional views to both pieces with color map annotations on the cross sections. What I would like to be able to do is add the cross sections to one piece then have it update on the second piece with the new features. Does anybody know how to do this?

I can do a kind of round about way and create an entire new piece and have it perform the inspection all over and have to delete the duplicates. This works but if I have 6 pieces I don't want to create 5 new pieces to get something that should be able to update all at once.

Let me know if anybody has any thoughts on this.

One way to do this is add the required operations to the first piece.
Save the project then go to the second piece and import from project.
This will enable you to import any items from the first piece and update them.
