Any way to avoid this error?  It occurs if you rename a drawing, or change out a drawing from the model.  To get rid of it, manually going into each drawing and each drawing mode, right clicking on the overlay list, and removing it is not a good option.  Maybe there's an easier way?

Not sure if there is an easy to fix it on existing drawings, but my cure for that has always been to make sure that I never close a drawing with an overlay turned on.  If you turn the overlays off before you save and exit you should not get the error.

Thanks Mike!  I'll try this.  I typically have overlays (and building options/layers) on autohide, so idk if that counts as 'turned off" or if I just need to make sure it's not checked and visible on my drawing at the time of saving/closing it.  Will experiment.

 

I don't see why this popup needs to exist though.  If SP can't find the drawing due to renaming or deleting, it should just not show up on the overlay list.

your drawing is looking for a reference drawing that it can't find.  in the overlay screen that drawing will show up here (see my yellow marks).  use use your opposite to pick  mouse button and delete this unknown reference file.
