And the process will go no further. I find nothing in PTC's KB. Anyone know what's going on? The model could be hosed, but I find no external dependencies/refs, nothing that would help me cancel the "external" business.

This was the culprit in the mirror failure: default_ext_ref_scope set to skeletons. Some wiseguy at work thought it would be a good idea to change it from ALL. He was trying to cut down on "bad" external references. He gave up on his bright idea after some convincing argumentation and a lot of yelling and name calling. I think he sensed that I was upset. But it was probably the high priced thermal analyst who wasted a several hours on the above "error" message when trying to do a cut out in assembly today that tipped the scales. BTW, the place where you can change the reference scope is now buried under 'Tools>Assembly Settings>Reference Control'. This was not covered in the update training.
