I would like to get rid of the following problem:
1) Create a new assembly
2) Place the component Part1
3) Delete the component jast inserted (now Part1 is not used)
4) Create a new part
5) Save as Part1 -> it says "cannot give a document the same name as an open document (or a document that is referenced by an open document, e.g. a part/assembly referenced by a drawing). Enter a different name for the document you owant to save."
This is a simplified sequence. My real application is a VBA macro that does something similar. The first time works, the second time gets stuck because it remembers the component just deleted.
Thanks,
Stefano

Close and re-start Inventor is the only way I have been able to solve this issue
