What does this "Current Location" message mean?

Hello

For some time now, I have sometimes had this multiple-choice message whose implications and solutions I don't really understand...

It's:

_soit "Open file from initial location"

_soit "Open file from initial location"

_soit "Open Replaced Files from Current Location"

Whereas I only have this file once in my entire folder.

Does anyone have an answer?

Thank you.

A+

Hello

This comes from the fact that you have several times the same part files in different locations in your assemblies. You have to open a first assembly with parts at a certain location. And then open a second assembly with parts with the same name but in a different location.

Hence the message displayed. SW does not know how to open two rooms with the same name. As it sees which are stored in different locations, it asks you which location to choose.

Hello

Thank you for this quick response.

That's what I was thinking, but I only have this file in the whole case folder.

I looked under SW with the command "look for references" and the same, they all point to the right folder.

Weird....?

But you only open one assembly?

Only one file in the deal folder, but does it exist in other deal folders?

SW manages the paths in his own way and not necessarily in a comprehensible way: it's often that I get a path that I haven't used for a long time. My solution: on a freshly started machine, it's to rename the "wrong" file, open the assembly, check that the files all come from the right place, save.

This often happens to me when I reuse a subset (after duplicating it) or in case of a study iteration.
