the file "" was not found (Error 337)

[Bob Wing]

I am trying to load an ".sda" file by way of "load 3-D Data". The file does not load and I get the following error, The file "" not found (error 337). I also get this message from the output window. "NOTE: object of type 'part_struct' was missing." Any ideas? Thanks in advance Bob

Hi Bob, you are trying to load an assembly consisting of several part-files. One of them somehow disappeared from your directory and cannot be found. You can load the assembly anyway if you enter the following command in the SD command-line: (CLUSTER-MANAGER-CONTROL :ALLOW-MISSING-FILES T) Then you can load your assembly. After loading you should enter: (CLUSTER-MANAGER-CONTROL :ALLOW-MISSING-FILES NIL) to switch off that mode again. In 99 % of our cases of this error, that worked. Good Luck! Johannes

Johannes, Thank you for your reply, your information was exactly what I needed. A definite lifesaver now and most likely in the future. Bob
