It doesn't aloow me to do convert in order to edit the the sketch of a part. So i tried to rename the assy to VX6_Board Assy_AC_eSATA_001.SLDASM (added _001)and checked "update where used" but the same message poped up again. Can anyone give me an advise? Thanks in advance.

Just more stuff to get out of whack while I issue a multitude of 4 letter expletives while fixing it. I just try to avoid doing things in context at all.

You're now an offical member of the SolidWorks Explorer Club! Please see your Den Mom for your patch. Even more fun is this: slash and burn all references all the way to the sketch level. Too bad the "Cavity" external reference cannot be removed, same with some Sketch Planes created a dimensioned distance from the Face of an external reference. Devon Congratualtions Josh-
