ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Accepted Solutions

You have a reference to a file wich no longer exists.

How to create it for fun..:

-In session createn a assembly and two parts as in example(asm0001.prt, prt0001.prt, tmp.prt). Do not save anything yet.

-First insert tmp.prt into the assembly then replace it with prt0001.prt.
-While replacing you should have checked "Remember These Components"

- Now in Refrence Viewer you'll see a trash can next to the tmp.prt. If you click on it you will break the link, but do not do it since we want the gost. Close the RefViewer

- Now erase tmp.prt from session. Now in RefViewer you will see a X symbol in front of tmp.prt which means that the part is not open in the session. Still do not remove it coz we want to bust a ghost

- Now save the assembly. Now you will see that a gost part will is created.

If you don't want the ghost, then you need to do the opposite. Never remember unused components, or delete the links in RefrenceViewer if you already have.
