When user open part1.par file in design manager, it's showing one file. But when he open part2.par (used 'part1.par' as part copy feature) in design manager, it's showing both files i.e. 'part2.par' and 'part1.par'.
Why it's showing both files when part2.par is opened in Design Manager?
And;
Why it's (part2.par) not showing when open the part1.par in design manager?
Solution
Use the Part Copy command to insert geometry from another document into the current part or sheet metal document. The geometry is inserted as a Parasolid body and can be placed associatively (if in the ordered environment) or non-associatively. Inserting a part copy in the synchronous environment is non-associative.
By default, part copies placed in the ordered environment are associative. If you change the original document, you can update the part copy.
As the geometry of Part1 is used/ placed with associative Parasolid body in an Order Part 2, user can see link with Part1 when user open the Part 2 in Design Manager. There not a cyclic dependency (associativity). Hence reverse link will not be generated/ seen in Part1 when open on Design Manager.
To create a part copy, use the Select Part Copy dialog box to select the parent document from which you want to copy the geometry. The part copy is converted into a Parasolid body and is placed into the new document in the same position and orientation it occupies in the original document.
If you insert the part copy before other design geometry is constructed, you can place the part copy as a base feature or as construction geometry. If you insert the part copy after other design geometry is constructed, you can place the part copy only as construction geometry. For example, if the document in which you are copying the geometry contains a model that consists of protrusions, cutouts, holes, and so on, you can only insert the part copy as construction geometry.
If the document in which you are copying the geometry contains only construction geometry, or is empty, you can insert the part copy as construction geometry or as the base feature.
