dissolving sub ass'y with virtual components

dissolving sub ass'y with virtual components

dissolving sub ass'y with virtual components

(OP)
I made a sub ass'y and put it in my ass'y planning to dissolve
it and now I can't because it says I have virtual components.  How can I fix this?

RE: dissolving sub ass'y with virtual components

Save the VCs as separate parts, then dissolve the assy.

RE: dissolving sub ass'y with virtual components

(OP)
How do I know which ones they are?

RE: dissolving sub ass'y with virtual components

You will need to either expand the sub-assy, or open the sub-assy separately, in order to see its components.

RE: dissolving sub ass'y with virtual components

(OP)
I have opened the sub assy and there are no brackets, anywhere.

RE: dissolving sub ass'y with virtual components

(OP)
I am not allowed to send anything.  I think I am going to have to start over, but I would really like to avoid that.

RE: dissolving sub ass'y with virtual components

Was the sub-assy created by doing a "Save as" from another sub-assy?

Are there any sub-sub-assys?


Open the sub-assy in SW Explorer and use the References tab to see where the VCs exist. They will be shown in red in the report, and the Full Path should be listed as <internal to assembly>.
