Someone sent me an assembly along with the parts that make it up. Every time I open the assemblt, SW prompts me that it can't find some of the referenced parts because it's still looking in the source drive where the assembly was originally created rather than on my local drive where everything is now saved. I direct SW to the correct location, and the assembly opens with no problem. The problem comes when I try to open the assembly again and I need to guide SW back to the correct saved part location because it reverted to looking in the source drive. I checked the part references and everything is linked to the correct file location. I saved it and yet it still "forgets" where the parts are supposed to be. And this happens for only some of the parts in the assembly. I've heard of the Pack-And-Go feature haven't used it yet. Since I already have all the files I need, is there any way to get around this annoying problem with SW?
