There are various different ways to break connections between Assets :


  • Using "break" mode
  • Using the "Break Join" and "Break Joins" commands
  • Manipulating a connected Asset
  • Modifying the properties of an Asset via the Properties Dialog

Whenever a connected Asset’s properties are modified in the Properties Dialog the user will be asked whether or not they want to update the connected Assets. Typically the user will click “No”, the default, and the connected Assets will be updated. However, choosing “Yes” will break any connections and the connected Assets will not be updated.
