    DA, Changing file location

    I have several files in an assembly that have the file location listed as
    "NewWorkGroup1" listed as the file location. I can go through all these
    one-by-one and change them to the correct loctaion, but is there anyway to
    chose all of them and do it one time? Sure would be a time saver.

    Yeah ... just shift/pick them all and change the location. I usually set the
    project they will go to as the current project before I go to DA. You can do
    the same thing with other stuff that's the same as well; like deleting the
    file names from the Part Number column! ... Had to get that in again.

    Larry,
    That lets me chose all the files and I can pick the path. Problem is when I
    change the file location from "NewWorkGroup1" to "Standard Parts", DA tells
    me that the files already exist. I can exit DA and delete the file, then
    restart DA and open the assembly. DA then wants me to resolve the link of
    the file I just deleted.
    Did I loose you?
    I don't understand why the file location is listed as "WorkGroup1" and DA
    will not let me just change it. DA is trying to relocate the file.

    I found the problem... For some reason, there was a WorkGroup1 in my
    WorkGroup path. I deleted it out of my project and the file location shows
    correctly in DA.

    Thanks for the tip Larry.

    The way I do it is to have descriptive names for the project files so I know
    where I'm coping the files to; I've seen that NewWorkgroup thingy once or
    twice but I never copied any files to it, I copied them to the project I
    wanted them to go to.

    If you have standard parts with the same file name already in that directory
    I would expect such an error. You may need to copy the Standard Part files
    to a temp project, delete the existing files with the same name, then copy
    the Standard Parts to the directory they go in.
