Opening AutoCAD assemblies after import

After importing an AutoCAD assembly in TeamWork, opening the assembly for the first time in AutoCAD, AutoCAD Mechanical or Mechanical Desktop may not resolve the external references correct. To prevent this, manually launch AutoCAD before opening the assembly. After saving the assembly subsequent opening of the assembly will work as expected.

The reason is that in this situation the TeamWork AutoCAD link is not yet loaded by AutoCAD when the drawing is being opened. Once the assembly is saved by AutoCAD while the TeamWork Link is loaded a special marker is written in the drawing which instructs AutoCAD to load the TeamWork Link as soon as it opens the drawing.
