Does SW tend to have issues with UNC paths? I have some assemblies that when I open them have a part or assembly suppressed. When I unsuppress them, SW asks if I want to find them. Click Ok and I am placed into the folder where that part/assembly is. Seems to be either a bug or perhaps there is a setting I have forgotten about.

Did you renamed the part or the assembly by any chance.

Because you are discussing a UNC path I assume you are working with files being shared on a network. Its been my experience that all windows programs can get a bit flaky accessing network folders. Most programs, Soldiworks included, will be much more well behaved if you map the folder as a network drive and then use the “local” path.

The parts were not renamed. They are located on a network that has “issues”. I am in a constant battle with IT who say they do not see “issues”. It may be possible that something is flaking out on the UNC paths but not on the mapped paths.
