Assembly failure

Hi,

 

 I have a big assembly which consists of many sub-assemblies and parts. If I open the main assembly some of the sub-assemblies are getting a failure, but if I open sub-assemblies first and then the main assembly it works fine.

 

Note: the problem is not a missing component it is a failure of sub-assemblies.

 

Kindly share your experience and thoughts on this issue.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Ponnarasu Mathialagan.

Hi,

it looks like subassemblies are located in separated directories.

You have to add search_path options pointing to these directories into config.pro file.

Hello Martin,

 

Thanks for your answer.

 

But as I mentioned the problem is not a missing component.

 

I assume it is about the difference in sub-assembly versions.

Are you keeping the same sub-assemblies in different folders on your computer (or server)? This is a very bad practice and makes it impossible to know which is the latest file or even which file you are opening or have open currently.
