Broken Fields

I have a drawing that I am linking fields to other sheet sets and every time I save the link goes to ####. I can browse to the other sheet sets and link the drawing just fine but on save it messes up. Any suggestions?

I wonder if there is a limit on the number of characters within the path of a field.

Its the same amount of characters as the fields from their own sheet set. But thank you!!

Ok, it must have just been the way the file opened up without access to the sheet set it was referencing.

Does this sheet belong to the sheet set?

it belongs to a sheet set and the fields that are linked to that works fine. The other fields are linked to a separate sheet set and when i save, it changes to "*Unknown*" and puts ### in.

Im only guessing but if you are pointing to SSM fields the SSMAUTOLOCATE probably tells the field it should be part of the current Sheet set. I know the dialog lets you pick different SS but ... it does go kabluey doesnt it. Ive had the same experience
