Another strange day in the life of Creo

I have an assembly that has a sub-assembly within it. The assembly resides in Folder A and the sub-assembly resides in Folder B. Both folders are mutually exclusive but do exist at the same structure level. I.E. the folders are peers.

Nothing is in cache or in session. I have Erased Not Displayed, I have no Search Paths in my current session config. But when I open the assembly from folder A, Creo magically...somehow knows to go and get the sub-assembly from folder B. That should not be happening in Creo. If I were working in Solidworks, I would not be surprised.

I have been doing this Creo stuff for quite some time and I have not had this happen.

Uh oh. Is this in one session or have you restarted creo?

Only in one session. I did restart and saw that it behaves normally when opening the first time and then goes pear-shaped after that.

Some other atypical things at play with this one. I have a Step file created from Altium (Circuit board software) that is within sub-assembly B. I also have sub-assembly C that is a different version of the PCBA that behaves the same.

It's a strange day, Stephen!

I think I have seen this before. If you open it once by navigating to the folder, creo seems to leave a breadcrumb trail. Even though you erase not displayed, it still keeps the breadcrumbs to that folder.

I can't test it at the moment.
