How to make SolidWorks locate parts for an assembly?

I created an assembly and saved it. However, when I try to open the assembly file next time, Solidworks gives a dialog box saying that it is unable to locate the part, and I have to browse every single part to have a full assembly again. Is there a way to have Solidworks locate the corresponding parts for the assembly?

Why do some people have difficulty locating body parts?

Why Perl cannot find the module? Either there is a typo in the name of the module (e.g. in our case the module is probably called Acme::Name), or you don’t have the Acme::Name module installed.

Why does SolidWorks not look for part files?

That simply means that assemblies and drawings depend on the existence of the part files for their definition. If the part doesn’t exist, then neither can the assembly or drawing. When you open an assembly or drawing in SOLIDWORKS, it ‘looks’ for the parts and/or assemblies used to define them, but “where” it looks is not always apparent.
