    opening 26 files in 27: drills disappearing

    So I have been using 26 a long time, hundreds of files that I use over and over. I upgraded to 27, right before 28 came out. Anyway, no plans to go 28 any time soon. I am, however, starting to use 27 a bit. My problem is that when I open a perfectly good file from 26, in 27, everything looks fine but when you verify the tool assignment, the drills are gone. They are in the cam tree, and I can go thru the feature and it all looks good. Just gone from the tool list. Any ideas?

    I've had issues with opening older files in newer versions just about every release but I haven't seen this particular problem. If you can upload a file perhaps we can verify the problem.

    Even going from one pc install to another seems to affect the tool crib, and break the relationships. I have to re-select my machine, and all of the tools when ever I open up a old program file.
