.idw does not attempt to resolve links

Wondering if anyone can help

 

I am working on Inventor 12, previously Inventor 10 and recently (approx 4 months ago while I was still on Inventor 10), all of a sudden, if I tried to open a drawing where components had been deleted for example, it would not try and resolve the links, just straight crash the program.

 

Is anyone having or heard of a similar problem? My computer is on a network if that helps.

 

Thanks

 

Matt

Does this happen with any drawing, or one in particular? Please post computer/OS specs.

 

(Note: using shortened names for Inventor versions can be confusing, because Autodesk changed names from actual version numbers to fiscal years in 2007; there was an Inventor 10 about four years before Inventor 2010 (version 14)).

Always much better to open the IAM first and resolve links there, than in a IDW / drawing file.

Just insert the picture rather than attaching it as a file

Single user on the this computer but the program is used across the company via licenses. No vault.

Is it only one specific assembly that has this problem, or does it happen to any assembly with missing components?

It does it to any assembly. I know this seems to have baffled a few people! Im beginning to this its something to do with the servers and not Inventor.
