Good work! it's my daily nightmare with my large assemblies ... especially when 2 small ghost parts do not allow you to integrate the other 500 =)

Yooo thanks for your videos, I often reference them for help! :)

Glad to hear it!

Do you know how to break the reference of a surface? I have points that reference a surface. The surface is now always hidden and I want to delete it, but if I do: a bunch of other definitions I want to keep will also be deleted. Is there a way around this?

[@sconescrewdriverson]

What do you do for broken references in a drawing? I have found nothing better than importing the data into a blank sheet of a fresh drawing. Is there a way to target those ghosts?

[@CADPLMGuy]

Same process. Although one additional cause with drawings is that people add a model to a drawing, create a view, delete the view, but don’t delete the model from the drawing. So check that all models in the drawing are actually used in drawing views.
