What is the order used by SOLIDWORKS to search for referenced documents?
When you open an assembly or drawing in SOLIDWORKS, you are not just opening a single file, you are opening all the referenced files too. So if you open an assembly, SOLIDWORKS opens the assembly, as well as all the sub-assemblies and part files within it.
