Part in the assembly is lost every time (Einzelteil in der Baugruppe geht jedes Mal verloren)

Good day,

currently I have a serious problem with Creo Parametric 5.0.1. in the student version.

Every time I open an assembly, Creo doesn't find the individual parts and the link is broken.

If I then find the individual part again via the history tree and the correct link exists, I save the assembly. After saving and closing this assembly, Creo loses the individual part when it is opened again and the link is faulty again.

Guten Tag,

derzeit habe ich ein schwerwiegendes Problem mit Creo Parametric 5.0.1. in der Studentenversion.
Jedes Mal, wenn ich eine Baugruppe öffne, findet Creo die Einzelteile nicht und die Verknüpfung ist fehlerhaft.
Wenn ich dann das Einzelteil über den Historien-Baum neu finde und die richtige Verknüfpung besteht, speicher ich die Baugruppe ab. Nach dem Speichern und Schließen dieser Baugruppe, verliert bei erneutem Öffnen Creo das Einzelteil und die Verküpfung ist wieder fehlerhaft.

Creo does not save "paths" for the location of parts or assemlies.

If you want to have your parts in other folders or sub-folders, you will need to add search path to your config.pro

If you keep all your parts and assemblies in a single folder, you can make that folder your working directory and creo will find anything in the working directory.

Thanks for the fast answer, but i think i don´t understand it to 100 %.
When Creo don´t save paths from an assembly of the single part to a sub-folder, why there is even an error?

On this currently project i´m working on, there are many single parts in single folders and these single parts are added to sub-assemblys.

These sub-assemblys are added to an bigger assembly.

Today, i decided to copy every single part and sub-assembly into one big folder with the big assembly and it worked. The big assembly find the single parts.

I tried the solution with the "search_path" and also the "file_open_default_folder". But even if i save the assembly as a copy or anything, it doesn´t change the error when i re-open it.

Is there something i´m missing?

(sorry for bad english. i´m german)

You're english is great, don't worry about that at all!

Creo doesn't save any paths in the files at all. Creo looks in the working directory only and then, if you have search paths specified in your config, it will look in those folders.

If you use Save-As-Backup, creo will save all the parts and assemblies in a different folder. You can then open the new assy in the new folder. Be aware, you will have 2 copies of your files so if you change one, you will not be changing the other.

If you set up your search paths in the config, you can open the assembly from any folder and creo will look in those search paths for the parts/assemblies.
