form new subassembly issue
form new subassembly issue
(OP)
I'm in the process of documenting a sheet metal cabinet and am forming subassemblies within the main assembly as the manufacturing process dictates.
I just formed a new subassembly and got the following:
In the main assembly, the new subassembly appears fine. If I open the new subassembly in a new window, however, the new subassembly only shows 1 part when there should be several.
If I do File, Find References, all the correct information is there. If I look at the assembly statistics, the information shows only 1 unique part.
Anyone ever seen this and how might I fix it?
Thanks,
Dave Gowans

RE: form new subassembly issue
Here's what did it:
After forming the new subassembly, I opened it in a new window. As before, I could only see 1 part. The feature tree looked as I expected, but the assembly itself displayed incorrectly. I then set all the components to lightweight, at which time everything displayed correctly. Upon resolving the components again, everything appears fine!!!!!!
Any thoughts? A new way to CTRL-Q?????

Nothing to do with the system config...( have VAR/SW recommended configs all over engg dept)
When I saved the file and closed SW and started another window and opened the file it was fine.
Happened to me several times today.
