How to purge a part reference?

I've got an assembly that has 'morphed' over the last 8 months, many months ago I had a subassy in it somewhere named 'big2404003c.sldasm', that sub has long since been deleted or renamed or something, but it no longer exists, except when I open the drawing, it'll tell me it can't find it and ask if I'd like to find it, every time I check the "Don't ask me again" box and pick No.

I suspect somewhere I have an edge of another part referencing this rogue assy, or something like that, but I don't know how top find it. The assembly in question has 161 unique parts and 29 unique sub-assy's.

Any ideas?

Thanks Whit

Do not know if any kind of global purge for external ref. But maybe the below might help (or maybe you have already tried the below & it wont help -- either way I tried).

maybe try searching for it -- maybe your just missing it in the Feature tree (I have days like that). You can try searching the tree by RMB click at the top & choose Goto & in put 'big2404003c' in the search box. If that turns up with nothing. You can manully look for external references by RMB click & choose "list external ref." & find which part or assembly has the ref to the missing assembly.

aHA! Thanks for the explanation, I had a point on a sketch 'peirced' thru a a broken reference '->x'

Delete, Fix, save, exit, done

Cool

Thanks!

Thank you, I tried the GoTo thingie, nothing found, Devons suggestion of looking for the little symbols really sped things up.

I've been at this SWX for a little over a year and the learning curve never really flattens out :o)
