OK, just had a momentarily frightening situation. When I tried to load my model this morning it came up with 134 errors and wouldn't let me load. Upon looking through them, most of them were "constraints not satisfied" and were listed as being constrained to a dwg site plan that I had linked in.

I figured out that I could just move the linked file, then it wouldn't find it, and it would just unload it and everything would be fine. Problem solved.

However, I am curious about how this could happen for two reasons. For one, I was careful to make sure that I didn't have the lock option turned on when picking the lines, and well I may have slipped once or twice, I know I didn't slip 134 times. Secondly, I've had several times when I aligned or tried to lock to a linked dwg by accident and it gave me an error that said you can't lock to a linked file. Anyone had this happen or can explain it to me?

Thanks
