Updating references issue
-
I'm sure I've done something daft. I had a working SU model and LO pages on my MacBook. If I updated the model, saved it, and updated the references in LO, it did indeed update as I had hoped.
I have since moved the files to our office's shared file server. Now if I make a change to the SU model, it doesn't update the references in LO any more.
I did right-click and try "edit in SU" option, and it opened a different file to the one it should be referencing. The filename was a string of numbers and dashes that did contain the original SU model name. I tried to saveas and overwrite the original filename, but still doesn't behave itself.
Is there a way to force which file is referenced? I'm reluctant to have to re-insert the SU model because I've got quite a lot of notes and lines around the details in LO and afraid they'll all go haywire

When you move a file the inserted/linked SKP in Layout still looks to the original path/filename, on the original PC etc.
If it can still find it, then it will update to still match that and not the relocated file - however, if it can't find it then it says in the Document settings that its status is 'Missing'.
So in Document settings find the linked 'missing' SKP and select it, pick 'ReLink' and find the SKP file's current path/name and select that.
The Layout document will now use that 'new' SKP for any instances of it used in the pages.
Its new data should be remembered, on a save.
Repeat for other inserted/linked objects that have been relocated or renamed... -
