Problem with large assembly after SW upgrade

Problem with large assembly after SW upgrade

Problem with large assembly after SW upgrade

(OP)
We have just moved from SW2007 to SW2009 sp5. I have a fairly large assebly that wouldn't save after the upgrade. I am now trying to rebuild it and it is still failing. Each sub assembly seems to open and save OK. The top level assembly is new. Any ideas where I might look for issues?

RE: Problem with large assembly after SW upgrade

Do you have any configurations in you parts or subassemblies?
I hade a fail to save issue and fixed by rebuilding all the configurations

But then my assembly was only small with only a few configuration in some subassemblies so wasn't a big job

Thanks. I thought it might be configurations so I saved all the sub assys with no configurations, just default, and rebuilt the assembly. It still fails to save. Shall check again in case I missed one.

My big 'un saved ok in 2009.5 after setting display mode to wireframe/hidden lines removed on everything.

Looks like it was a dodgy custom texture on one of the parts. All the other custom textures came through OK but not this one.
