Missed link between .opj and .dsn

Hi everyone!

I am having a strange problem with one Allegro Design Entry CIS project.

I have the .opj and the .dns in the same folder. Just for this project, when I open it the dsn is not properly loaded under design resources:

 If I remove the .dsn and manually add it again I can see it properly:

Is there some way to fix this?

Thanks a lot

    Personally I've don't use or save .opj files. Never had a good experience using the opj. It's nothing but a pointer file. You don't really need them.

    Delete the .obj file and reload the .dsn file. It will create a new .obj with the correct link. Like Lock2002 I rarely open a schematic from the .obj file. I don't trust the link(s). BR

    I tried your suggestion but it does not work. The DSN is added to Design Resources as an Allegro PCB Router file (which crushes since it is not such a file)

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks
