I think it's because you haven't defined a path for the library files. If
you go to the main screen of the content and choose configure then edit and
select Parent Assembly it seems to ask you for a place to store (and how to
name the file). If you choose Workspace it places it in your workspace by
default. Or you can choose a defined Library path...
Well no, there blows that theory Now it's not asking.. I'm not sure. I
can get it to happen sometimes but not others. Just another reason to use
iParts I guess
