It would help to start with a few more details about the problem.

"What is the exact error message you are receiving?"

When it fails, what is the error in the log? 

  • In Tools\Current settings, there is an object search strategy.  
  • In Options\Engines there are name mapping settings.

 

Have you checked for issues with your NameMap?  I have seen issues like this.  In one case the path set to the NameMap in the project '.mds' was the problem.  The '.mds' file should not be manually modified but can be opened and examined as XML. 

In another case the NameMap was corrupt but I was able to recover by restoring an older NameMap from source control. 

The NameMap itself is stored in a NameMapping.tcNM file.  This is also an XML file that can be examined but I would not recommend modifying the content. 

In both cases this occurred in a situation similar to yours where two different projects were modifying the same NameMap.

If you are still stuck you may want to open an issue with the support team.
