Regenerate in assembly

[GordonL]

Is there a way to regenerate parts in an assembly after a part has been modified? Help says just click regen.. I don't see that option. The only way I have found is to close the assembly and the parts are updated when I reload.

Use 'Edit here' or 'Edit in separate window' to edit parts from the assembly - that way you are editing the same instance in memory as that being used in the assembly.

If you open a part separately from the assembly, you now have 2 instances of the same file loaded into memory - depending on exactly how/when you edit and save it is possible to accidentally overwrite your changes.

OK That makes sense. I will modify parts from the assembly. Usually I am just adding reference axis or planes to aid placement.
