Duplicate file creation after .asm loaded

I have updated to WF5.0, M040 from WF2.0, M250. I have several assembly files that use family table generated parts, some with flexable features defined. When I open an assembly file, the system creates new part files (prt0001.prt.1, etc....) for each of the instances used in the assembly and places them in the working directory. In the model tree, the correctly named instances are shown and they are in fact loaded correctly. The new files are just duplicates. This happens with different combinations ofassemblies andfamily table generated parts, so it is not just one bad file. I have no issues with WF2.0. I scanned the WF5.0 Configuration Options (May 2010)and did not see anything that might be the cause.


Has anyone seen this happen and is there a fix?
