Thank you for responding to my problem, within my project Flexi, I have added one folder in the Library search path: = c:\bellows, then added proxy path c:\_bellows which appears under the 1st folder, so I have two folders in the Library path now. If I open a new asm in the Flexi project & click to place component an open window appears, in the locations side of the window there is the library file if I click on it it opens bellows file in the look in window, if I 2x click on the MDC_formed bellows.ipt a place standard part window appears with keys, Tree & table in it, also size & No 1 in the window, my curser has an icon attached to it when i click into the graphics area the formed bellows file appears in the model tree window, I click ok & the place component box goes leaving nothing in the graphics window, in the model tree window if I expand the formed bellows file it shows table & origin thats it no ipart bellows, (I expected to see the formed bellows 1" in size)
