Summary


Details

--------------- 
There are occasions where you define the Standard Parts SAC file location in 
the Solid Edge options on the 'File Locations'-tab and the entry will not stay 
there. Latest on reopen of the 'File Locations'-tab the definition will be 
gone.



Solution

 These are four possible reasons for this behaviour.


1. 
The user needs full permissions on the standard parts folder where the 
SMAPINIFile.sac resides.


2. 
The SMAPINIFile.sac holds information about the location of the Standard Parts 
Database. If the Standard Parts Database resides on a server, it is essential 
that the location is defined using UNC format like \\server\StandardParts. A 
definition of a network drive like X:\StandardParts will not work. You make 
this definition visible if you start the Standard Parts Configuration Wizard on 
the server. You also use the Standard Parts Configuration Wizard to change this 
setting and write it to a new SMAPINIFile.sac by clicking 'save'.


3. 
Again, if the Standard Parts Database resides on a server, the entry on the 
'File Locations'-tab must be in UNC format like 
\\server\StandardParts\SMAPINIFile.sac. 


4. 
Network instability. Of course, the access to the Standard Parts server must be 
guaranteed.
