STP converted to rsdocx files are linked if multiple copies are in an assembly ?


Nick at Alban

I have an assembly with multiple copies of parts. The parts I've designed from scratch all behave as I want, if I move one the other stay still, if I change the design of any part all get the same design change.

However I've some parts which where originally STP files I've converted to rsdocx. For these parts if I move one of them all the parts move the same (component or object selected). I can make them independant, but then I end up with multiple copies of essentially the same thing.  

I made them docx as I may want to make changes and I want to link a drawing to the part.

How can I stop this happening and the converted stp files behave the same as scratch drawn parts ?
