    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

  2. 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..

  4. 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.
