in assembly mode, when creating a component with assembly references.
i try to use this component in other assemly and Pro/ENGINEER says that the component has lost references.
how can I creat compinent in assembly mode without having this problem of lost reference?
thanks
 
You need to have the referenced component in the new assembly. Do a search for "External References" and you should be able to read up on a myriad of topics. I personally do not like to have external references just for this simple fact. In order to solve your problem, after you model your part in assembly mode, delete all your external references and reference datums, etc. that are only in your part.
