Solid Edge Part Copies not shown in Structure Editor

The user wants to copy a drawing, its related assembly and parts in the Solid Edge Embedded Client (SEEC) environment using the Structure Editor.

If they were to open the structure as unmanaged in Solid Edge Design Manager, it would show that D9047.par has a Part Copy/Reverse link from D90147-W.par:

However, if the same structure is managed in the SEEC environment, when it is opened in Solid Edge Structure Editor they see that the Part Copy/Reverse link is not shown.

Why cannot they see the complete structure?

This was a deliberate change that was made in a previous version to stop expanding all reverse links which was resulting in a performance degradation, as each Part Copy relation had to be sent from Teamcenter.

However it is possible to change the registry key that enables this – SEEC_Draft_DisableExpandGRM

This is located in HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> SOFTWARE -> Siemens -> Solid Edge -> Version XXX -> DEBUG

You need to set this to "0".

This will then show all the Part Copies/Reverse links in the entire structure:

NOTE: You will need to accept any performance degradation that may result from disabling this registry setting.
