 all. We recently switched from Intralink to PDM Link and have a
question regarding update. I get the plus sign on a part that I’m not
sure I’ve modified and in Intralink I could do an update and it would
go away being replaced with the part from common space. Now with PDM
Link, I’m working (online) within my workspace and when I do an update
(to the parts with plus), the plus sign remains and I get a message
that says (on the following screen):

Cannot update an item that is up-to-date or is the iteration already
in the workspace chosen for compatibility with other members of the
same family table that are not being updated.

We’re kind of stumped as to whether or not we need to get rid of the
plus sign like we use to do with Intralink (doing an update).

Thanks

This comes from a common flaw in family tables. Always modfiy and check-in

all instances when adding a new instance or changing one. This way the 
latest iteration of the generic has all of the instances generated with
it.
