Design Library Error
Design Library Error
(OP)
Hello,
We have the our library components/ purchased components stored in the Design Library folder on a Server. We used to able to drag n drop the components into assemblies without any problem.
But now one of my designers is having a weird error while he tries to drag n drop some of the components:
" Failed to drop Palette Feature. The drop site or Palette Feature is not appropriate".
What is weird is it happening to only one guy and on just some of the parts.
Thanks in advance for any help.

RE: Design Library Error
Is it always the same assy that parts will not drop into?
Are all computers using the same SW version and SP?
Is the 'rogue' computer running ACAD or any Add-ins that the others aren't?
RE: Design Library Error
The problem is interminent. It looks like the subset of the parts that are getting dropped is decreasing. I have created some new test assemblies just to test dragn drop. The problem exists independent of the assemblies. Yes,all the computers have same SW and SP. Yes the rogue computer is having ACAD but so do some of the other computers.
Chris,
It is not related to Multi-body parts.
Scott,
It looks like thats the way to go.
Thanks guys for the help.

Solution = Click on the folder in the design library and disable the option "Forming tools folder"
