When opening a saved assembly all models on the model tree are in red.

When i open an assembly that i have made in the past, when it opens most of the parts dont regenerate.  How do i fix this because it is VERY frustrating.

You need to set the working directory before opening the assembly.
That is assuming that all of these failed parts are in the same directory. "the working directory when you originally created this assembly"

else you need to set the set the search path in the config.pro file to include the directory where these parts are located.

Has the path to these parts changed?

If so, has the new path been added to the config.pro?

Are you able to manually go and retrieve the missing files?

Just some places to start.

Hi,

Case no.1

If you copy your assembly and all its component parts into the same directory, then Creo will find them.

Case no.2

If your assembly is located in one directory, for example C:\PTC\assembly

and component parts are located in second directory, for example C:\PTC\parts,

then add the following option into config.pro file.

search_path C:\PTC\parts

Now if you open assembly, then Creo will find component parts.

Sorry i'm new to Creo.  How would I add that setting to my config.pro file?

Elijah,

The simplest solution is to do the following:

1. Create a New folder and paste all the sub assemblies and parts that are related to your Master Assembly. OKAY

2. Set the working directory to that folder. (I hope you know how to do this ) OKAY

3. Open your assembly and do your Bork!!

Simple.

Hi,

to find config.pro file in Creo installation, use Windows Search functionality. Then open config.pro file using Wordpad and add search_path options at the end of the file. Then start Creo and open your assembly.
