      PX174C is a CATPart that includes all the small pins. By contrast, PJ1359A is a CATPart referenced at different places in the main product. So point coordinates on the local coordinate system do not change.<br/><img class = "image" src = "../CpsUserImages/ModulesClonesDetectionExampleNLS.png"/><br/></p>
  <p>When imported, Composer detects clones for PJ1359A (BOM ID 13) but not for all PX174C. The BOM workshop can detect that all PX174C have the same geometry if <span class = "ph uicontrol">Check coordinates system</span> is cleared. But instances are not created. An easy way to check is to add coordinate systems. Apply a coordinate system on each PJ1359A but just one for all PX174C.</p></div>
