File versions in assemblies.

Hi All,

My first post!

I have asked my VAR this question but didn't get a satisfactory answer so have decided to throw it out into the community.

I have an assembly lets call it A.SLDASM and in it are parts 01.SLDPRT 02.SLDPRT 03.SLDPRT

and I have a sub assembly SUBA.SLDASM with parts 21.SLDPRT 22.SLDPRT 23.SLDPRT

What I would like to do is update the versions on the assemblies and some of the parts and maintain the in context references etc.

So: -

A.SLDASM becomes B.SLDASM 02.SLDPRT becomes 02B.SLDPRT

SUBA.SLDASM becomes SUBB.SLDASM 21.SLDPRT becomes 21B.SLDPRT

Therefore I can open the B.SLDASM of the mould tool and see the unchanged parts and those that have been updated.

I trust this explanation is clear.

I already carry out the updating of parts by doing a SAVE AS but the assembly side of it isn't working.

Any thoughts.

I have SW Standard 2009.
