References lost!
References lost!
(OP)
Hello
This is not the first time, I've had this issue in the past and I do not know how to fix this.
I have an assembly - > I bring some parts in & I create new internal part - > For some internal parts I reference of the external ones
- > Everything seems to be working all sketches update if I move one part.
Next I need some parts in a sub assembly - > so i form sub assembly here and dont save it externally - > even now all good everyone happy. I save it - > No problem
Next day - > open it bam - error messages - > mates all gone wrong , Sketches have lost their references and what not & I can't even add relations between assembly parts and sub assembly parts. (I am sure there is a good reason why it wouldnt let me. why?)
But i want it to keep relations when I open it next time because these are one off parts and I will not be using them anywhere else. Is there any other way to come around this issue?

No - Do not create references external to the model (which sort of made sense to what I was doing..)
