OMG - what's happening????

    I just had 3 assemblies open when someone asked me to plot a couple of
    drawings for them. The drawings were of parts that were from an unrelated
    job, and I opened them lightweight , printed them off and then switched back
    to one of the assemblies.

    I found that these parts had been substituted for instances of various
    Toolbox fasteners!!!!
    The Feature Manager still said they were "washer", "bolt" etc, but they
    looked like the brackets that I had just plotted. A ctrl-Q didn't fix it,
    nor did a "redisplay".

    The same fault had occurred with the other 2 assemblies that were open. I
    ended up having to close them all and lose my changes.

    What the hell is going on???

    I'm on 2006sp5.

    Regards,

    John,

    Could it be that your assemblies each contain sub-assemblies? If so,
    you may find it necessary to open (and set to RESOLVED) each
    sub-assembly in order for the related top level assembly to update
    correctly when it is changed from Lightweight to Resolved...

    Per O. Hoel
