It&acute;s not so difficult (when you have mastered it after 3 endless years) 
 "Hard" says, that the behavior cannot be overwritten by the LifeCycle (if you have one). 
 For classical Parts this would mean: 
 Float -> BOM item will automatically float to it&acute;s latest version, as long as you haven&acute;t released your parent. On release it behavior will be overwritten to Fixed and then freeze the version. 
 Hard Float -> In your relationship, ALWAYS the newest item will be linked, no matter if we are in Preliminary, Released of whatever 
 Hard Fixed -> In your BOM relationship, nothing will be updated automatically. If you use Generation 3 of a Part, it will remain Generation 3, no matter if the state has changed or if there already 17 newer version of the Part. 
 I actually prefer using Hard Fixed for most of our tasks to prevent unwanted changes.
