Asign the same position on assembly and it's main part

[AlexanderTassev]

Hello, 

I am using Autocad Structural Detailing 2013. Whenever I try to make automatic positions with the option for giving the same name of assemblies and their main parts I get this: Fatal Error: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x0000 Exception at 2977850eh. I have tried it on several models, on several computers. I have tried copying the model into a brand new file, changing the settings for numbering, changing the family names/prefixes. I even tried to run that option without any prefixes. The result is the same. The problem occurs only when I try to name the assemblies (no problem for the single parts). If I turn it off, everything works fine.Please advice me what else to do.

Any more details about it?

ASD Version? File?

I am using the 64-bit version of Autocad Structural Detailing. I have service pack 1. After many attempts I managed to get  positions with random numbers (some of them had 6 digits).

Identify parts was used for assigning positions process?

[AlexanderTassev]

Yes... I tried again without it and everything looks great. Than you very much!

[Jakub.Brozonowicz]

I supposed that might be the reason.

The thing is that with "Identify parts" turned off I get a different position of each element. I have a lot of similar plates/beams in each of my models. Imagine 200 ribs that have no differences at all with 200 different positions - it is ridiculous. I need to use both options at the same time.

Yes but you can do positioning separately for main parts, plates and sub-parts.

It is not the only way to do positioning in one click operation for such requirements.
