Hi All,
I had a few comments/complaints from the rest of the guys in ourdesign office in relation to file reference issues when an Project(ie. a top level assembly) is copied using Pack & Go. The toplevel assembly file is selected when in SW Explorer and all filesand drawings are checked to be copied. A new location is selectedand the project number is changed using "Select/Replace".
All files are then copied and renamed to the new location, however,a few times upon opening the top level assembly of the freshlycopied project all files are still referencing their originalcomponents even though the copied and renamed files are all presentin the new location. Also we have had issues with equations in thecopied projects and components not updating correctly ie. stillreferencing the original files also.
We are using SW2007 SP4.0 and SP5.0 and we all have seen thisissues a few times.
Has anybody else experienced any similar file referencing issues oncopied assemblies/components/equations.
Thanks,
