Modified on every save!!!!

Jul 25, 2008 4 Replies

Some of the models referenced in this document have been modified. They must be saved when the document is saved.



Save the document and the referenced models now?


This is happening everytime I save an assembly, even with no changes, just a save after save will produce this message.



Is there a way to find out what documents have been modified?



Thanks


If you have opened some files that were created in a previous version, they will be modified because they were converted to the current version. Could that be what you are seeing? Do you have any parts or subs in the assy that are not writable? If you continue to get this after making sure that all referenced parts/assy's are writable and saved, then something else is going on.

I've also seen this happen when you have a movable assembly, you move a part (either by mate or drag) and it wants you to save the new view. Or if you open one part of it and check a sketch...

It's prolly just a warning message, doesn't mean anything.. but one way you can figure it out is with any software that will create a MD5sum on files and watch them..

google produced this

Since all of my files are usually saved in the same working directory, I can just sort the files in that directory by "Date Modified" and see what just got filed. You can use File/Find References to see what other directories you might need to check.
