Internal inconsistencies

[SC40]

Working with SE, update 14.
Have today started to get error message 'This part has internal inconsistencies' when I open any draft drawing. Any advise as to what or why this is occurring is appreciated.

Thanks

When you say 'update 14' do you mean version 14?

If not what version are you on as this may help.

I'm using SE V20, update 14.

This error is usually associated with an illegal/cracked license. Not always but mostly.
How long have you been using V20?
Are the draft files your own or from another source?

Been using SE V20 since it was released (and SE for over 5 years). Drafts are a combination of in house and external consultants. Have shut down and re-booted the server and my local PC. Old drafts now open Ok, some drafts created today by myself still register the error when opened. (My version of SE & licence is original UGS.) Do you know if this error could cause the system to crash and or loose data.(This happen to me a few years back.) I'm more relaxed if this is not going to cause any more of an issue than the error message.

Thanks

Sorry, if your license is legit and you're still getting the error, I cannot help any further, as this sounds more of a technical issue with saving and opening files to and from a server.
Try saving a new draft to your PC's hard drive and check if the error occurs.
Create a new draft template

Thanks for the advise. Planning on renewing my maintenance contract with SE soon and will take up with them.
