Redirecting Assembly and Parts Location

Vince Wong Mar 26, 2012 5:35 PM

I've renamed the assembly that a drawing view is refering to.

I am getting empty boxes as drawing views as normal, but upon opening the file there is no pop up that asks to redirect the file.

How can I get this box to show up again or redirect the file otherwise?

Go to your banished messages and check the box for the one that asks if you want to find the file yourself. The dialog is at the bottom of the list of system options.

In the File Open dialog box highlight the drawing but before opening it, click on the References button. You can then select the renamed assembly file.

To have dismissed dialog boxes re-appear go to Tools->Options->Advanced and put a check mark next to the message(s) you want to be shown again.

You should also be able to use SolidWorks Explorer. Select the drawing, go the the References tab, RMB on the models listed, and choose Replace.
