What am I doing wrong?
I have a component that appears to be suppressed. When I unsuppress it nothing happens. It stays grayed out. When I hover over that component it tells me "the file for this component cannot be located". However, I can click on the part and open it. Normally I'd just delete it out and replace it. This time I have a many instances. I'd prefer not to have to reconstrain everything.
I have checked the file resides in the same directory as the assembly.
SW2012 SP2.0
Thank you!

For some reason the assembly has lost (or thinks it has lost) the reference to the part. You might try opening the part first, then opening the assembly, and see if it opens OK. If that works, then Save and close both files. Open the assembly and it should be OK. If that doesn't work, I would suggest re-naming the part, then open the assembly, right-click on the suppressed part in the tree, and choose "Replace Component". Replace the suppressed component with the re-named one. If that works, and you need to change the name back to the original, do that with SW Explorer so it doesn't lose the link again.
