Find Reference for whole assembly!
Find Reference for whole assembly!
(OP)
Hi all,
I would like to copy the whole assembly within part & drawings to a new folder. Each assembly, sub-assembly & part got its own drawing.
I've tried to open an assembly drawing and use "Find Reference" but it's not worked for others parts' drawing & sub-assemblies' drawing. Guys, any solutions? Thanks in advanced.

Look in the help under "search --> file locations for external references". SW looks for file references using relative path before it looks for them under absolute path (full path with drive, etc.).
I know many people may read this and cringe. It sounds risky, but I have yet to see it fail. Experiment for yourself and see.

I have made a image of the way I believe is the tree that SW looks at and doesn't look at.

TheTick was right.
If EVERYTHING is in a single folder, you can safely copy the entire folder to a new location. You can even copy entire folder structures.
To break relationship between these two folders, make sure that you rename the original folder. Now, you have two sets of documents residing at two sepearate folders. But they do not talk each other (no relationship).
