Hi Polo,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately turning off the prompts didn't make any difference.
I think the problem in this instance is that a dependent assembly, within the assembly I'm trying to add to the vault, is an Excel Spreadsheet driven assembly. We've had trouble with "3rd party" items before. The way we see it is that once you've designed an item that's spreadsheet driven & checked that file into the vault, as soon as anyone accesses those file, even just getting & opening the file it'll show as any item with a 3rd party file as "red" with in the browser in Inventor. This seems to be the case for all "3rd party" items be they Jpegs, XLS files, PDFs etc. As you can see from the atteched file, the only files that are dirty are those with the "3rd Party" attachment. (This is the case with or without the prompts)
However I still can't see why it's not possible to add the file irrespective of the status of dependent parts/assys? Fair enough it should be a warning, but not a decision made for you. Clearly I can see these files "allegedly" need updating, whether or not I choose to update them should be my decision?
If you have any other suggestions I'm more than happy to try them
Cheers, Graham
