Importing part families

In the case of part family member components, Teamcenter obtains the part family member replicas if the master part family members are not available. The part family member replica is imported from the master site of the assembly. When importing remote part family members: If the Import Distributed Components option is not set and the master site of the assembly owns the part family members, the members are imported. If the Import Distributed Components option is not set and the master site of the assembly does not own the part family members, the members are imported. Teamcenter imports the part family replica and not the master copy. The master part family members must exist at the owning site. If the Import Distributed Components option is set and a site owns and contains the part family members locally, the members are imported. Teamcenter imports the master part family members present at the owning site. If the Import Distributed Components option is set and if the part family members do not exist locally at a site that owns them, the members are imported. Teamcenter imports the part family member replica and not the master copy.
