Hi guys, can someone give me an advice?
We create part "A" with family table 1, we add into it parts "B" and "C" with them own family table in part "A" by function "insert part" (we all know how to do it...), after this we add to family table 1 different configurations of this parts "B","C" by function "$CONFIGURATION@...", and it's all worked until we close this files. If we would try to open only part "A" the configurations of B,C don't work! But if we open at first parts "B","C" and after part "A" all will work again. I tried to add location of those parts "B" and "C" into "Search paths" but it didn't help, solidworks don't want to refresh configurations... It's work normally only if parts "B" and "C" opened in current session.
Maybe I miss something?
p.s. If I'll do the same with using an assambly, all will wokr perfectly...
Welcome to SW forums Zakhar.
This is an expected behavior as this is more in context modeling, so you need the parts opened up to set them correctly. And if you don't have the part B & C opened up, the references go missing.
Go to Tools > Options > External References and set Load referenced documents to All. This will open up the referenced parts B & C whenever you open the part A.
