Hello all,

Need some explanation about reusable parts (library was downloaded from ug ftp server).
Some time ago we made assembly with reusable components (few standard bolts, nuts, etc.) The reusable component library itself was placed in local computer (c:/....). Of course then other users cannot load these components. So we decided to place reusable components library to the network drive. We changed customers default value and pointed for new reusable library in network drive. the problem you can see in the attached picuture: no one of reusable components are loaded. I tried manualy replace components, but I am getting message, that this part cannot be changed because its already in use. Only it is possible to change to other component, i.e. if I originaly have bolt M5x45, I can change it to bolt M5x40. Right mouse button on the reusable component -> edit reusable component do not work.
So whats the problem here, and what it is possible to do?

Thanks.

I am guessing no TC managing your data.
Have you set the Search Path to point to the reuseable library network folder?
Are you using search paths in your load_options.def file?
