<WRAP info><color blue>**Note:**</color> \\ \\ The import of an assembly with drawings takes place via the same procedure → the import function recognizes whether a UGPart (drawing) exists for the UGMaster (model). This is automatically linked → the relationship type of the UGMaster is "master" and the drawing is "specification". \\ \\ <WRAP alert><color black>**Caution:**</color> \\ \\ Occasionally it happens that the old document number is stored as ID during the import → This can then be assigned manually according to the prescribed number range. A solution is being worked on. \\ How the import of assemblies is to be mapped processually with GoLive from Teamcenter still has to be defined. (Keyword: Duplicates).|@red: |</WRAP></WRAP>
