If the Missing File dialog box is displayed, click the Set Project button.
Select the project to use for resolving referenced file locations. Click Open,
and then click Start to begin the search.
You can click Cancel on the Find Missing File dialog box to cancel the
action and display the Pack and Go dialog box without referenced files.
You can use Design Assistant to copy an entire assembly file (.iam), including
the referenced drawing file (.idw). Close all Autodesk Inventor files and use
Windows Explorer to open the Design Assistant.
Design Assistant Manager
Using Design Assistant, the Design Assistant Manager can maintain links
between Autodesk Inventor files. You can change the file relationships four
ways: rename files, revise files, replace files, and create product configurations.
NOTE You cannot manage links for released files and read-only files.
TRY IT: Copy assembly and referenced drawing files using Design Assistant
1 In Windows Explorer, right-click the .iam file (for example, test1.iam),
and then click Design Assistant.
2 In the left panel, click the Manage button (if it is not already selected).
3 Highlight the entry for the .iam file (test1.iam) in the upper pane.
4 Select the Drawing Files check box in the bottom right pane, and then
select Find Files.
A message box is displayed, indicating if files were found. The list of files
found is displayed in the lower part of the right pane.
5 Right-click in the Action column for the .iam file (test1.iam) in the upper
pane and then click Copy.
6 Right-click in the Name column for the .iam file (test1.iam) in the upper
pane, and then click Change Name. Enter the new name for the Assembly
(for example, test2.iam). Enter a new path to specify a new location, if
desired.
7 Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the .idw file. Use the same name you used for
the assembly file, but use an extension of .idw (for example, test2.idw).
8 On the File menu, click Save to save the settings.
