So, I’m running SW 2020 and have an assembly with many parts, all working just fine until yesterday. Now it can’t find the referenced parts, which is strange because I have triple-checked all my settings…
– The file path in each part’s Component Properties is correct
– The correct folder is listed in the External References options page
– I double checked the file paths when opening, and they are correct
– The reference manager also has the correct folder and lists all the refs even when unchecking “include broken references”!
If I manually link each part at opening via the error window, it then works. But the next time I close and open the part, it’s forgotten – I don’t want to have to re-link every part manually each time! And I shouldn’t have to based on everything I’ve read.
The only other way I’ve gotten it to work is if all of the references parts are already opened before opening the assembly. What a pain.
Any suggestions? Getting desperate here.
