File references &$@#!
File references &$@#!
(OP)
Our users have been using an old copied parts directory. I want to switch the parts used to our main copied parts directory however, when I try to replace a part it says that I cannot replace a part with another part with the exact same name but a different location.
I'm starting to hate how SolidWorks keeps file references.
Is there a different workaround for this?

This will change the default search paths for all assemblies during open...if that's what you really want.

So there are advantages to such a system. It confused me at first as well, but now I really love it. Your document control procedures will dictate whether this is practical in your case or not. In my case, I have an entire library of backed-up project revisions, directory-by-directory. So it leaves me with a history of the project devleopment, which is often quite useful.
