Inventor 2013 idw issues

We have issues with some existing assemblies that we need to do revisions on.

When we check it out of vault and update something like edit an extrusion by placing an extra participant or even creating an extra new extrusion it switches off the visibility of the reference parts in the idw which in turn makes the views jump all over the page and unattaches the dimensions and annotations.

 

Has any body else come across the same issue and do anyone have any solution to this problem?

 

Any help or advise would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Kevin

Kevin,

Can you post some images of this?

Specifically the browser showing the visibility off.

As Scott mentioned, a screen shot would be helpful, ...what reference parts, and how is the visibility on them set before you make the changes?  Do you use View Reps or LOD in the model, or are you setting visibility in the idw?

I actually discovered that it might have been caused due to someone
moving or renaming the file in vault and it might have lost it's file
links.



When I tried to open it from different pc the first prompt I got was
that the reference was unresolved and might have been moved.



Thanks for your reply though.
