Hi Shakeel........ The same can be done by using copy and paste also......so what is the difference between Publication and paste special. Thanks

[@howENGINEERSdoit]

Publication allows you to interlink two different Part files.

[@vivekpalaskarU]

what is basic logic or concept behind publication command, why we use? plz explain with example...

[@NareshKumar-wz8tm]

I mean even paste special would also serve the same purpose , you can copy any feature of a part document and do paste special in another document with a link. So what exactly the difference is .... Thanks

I'm not the poster, but you can share published elements with other users very easily. If your data-management system allows it, you can grab published parameters from other parts more robustly than a copy+paste special. Publications can also be used for maintaining a link across parts and products. For instance, if you have a common line you want to reference across several product files, a published element allows you to do this easily.

If you only create unique models that never (or very rarely) share any geometry I would assume publication is of no use to you?
