Tool cribs are showing empty.

The way I work is I have my main crib, this is all 80+ tools that are my standard set.    I start a new document in FC, either with a model or not.  I get enough geometry to add a single feature, usually a face.  Then I save the doc, close it, and reopen it.  Now I'm in the crib for this document.  ( I save tools with the doc, this way my main crib doesn't grow out of control.) 

 

Then as I program I just grab tools from my main crib.   BUT, if I'm working on a bunch of parts that all go together, and they share tools, like specific taps/drills etc, I can just add those from the crib of another part.  So for example part A I use a .281 drill, this is not standard in my main crib.  I finish that and start a new part, this also needs that drill, so I just grab it from the crib from part a.   This works wonderfully, usually.

 

I'd say maybe 30-40% of the time it just shows an empty crib from the part I finished, so I can't import it into the current one.  Its just blank, every category.  If you open that part, all the tools are there. So I guess my question is why?

 

See attached.  Currently I'm working on the _004 part and trying to pull in from the _003 part.   _003 shows a totally empty tool crib, even though the tools are obviously there.  In the second picture I'm in the _003 doc and you can see its on the right crib, tools are present but it still shows the crib as empty.  How do I fix this?     This never happens with my  main crib, only on cribs that are part of a doc, and like I said its not all the time.

 

Thanks

Bruce
