Summary


Details

A user has a Family of Parts (FOP) with populated members and they need to copy all members of the FOP with the "Pack and Go" Tool in Design Manager.

The result is that only the Master will be copied, but not the Members. 

What has to be done if the customer needs to also copy all the Family of Parts (FOP) members?

Solution

This is possible by using a registry switch. By default this registry switch is off  (= 0) because normally users do not want to copy member files.  However, if you wish to copy member files, then turn ON the registry switch as described below:

Debug switch Name: "Create Package As-Is"
Set value: 1

Variable can be found in:
 
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Siemens\Solid Edge\Version XXX\DEBUG

"Version XXX" being equivalent to the Solid Edge Version that is installed:

E.g.  Version 222 stands for Solid Edge 2022.
