A couple parts that I moved from one subasy to another in an IAM are not showing in the associated IPN browser at all. Yet they are visible in the edit window & look as if they have tweaks applied.  I can click on & highlight them but there is no sign of them in the browser at all.

The parts are definitely in the browser of the IAM file though.

 Is this a known bug?

Could you reproduce this issue on a simplified dataset? Can you attach the simplified or the original dataset for more investigation?

Thanks,

Csaba,

I don't know how to duplicate the problem not knowing what causes it.

The zipped original files are 7 MB. Where can I upload the data set for you? I would prefer not to make it public.

Thanks.

So please send me this zipped file to my e-mail stanislav.sedlak@autodesk.com, I will take a look at this.

I know this thread is not current, but it is exactly the issue Im trying to address.

I have a large assembly that I do not want to "re-create" the .ipn/ .idw

It does not happen normally, but  has more than once.

After copying the design of a given assembly, I have replaced one assembly with 3 smaller sub assemblies in the .iam.

My procedure is as follows:

Locate sub-assembly in Browser/ Expand/ Highlight all 3 components within the assembly.

Drag them up in the hierarchy(No to check out) delete the original assembly without changes.

Replaced component on each of the 3 (sub) assemblies with desired (smaller) assemblies.

Sort Browser

update Bill of Materials

save.

Open .ipn

The assemblies that were modified highlight properly in the window but do not exist in the assembly browser

and there are idividual parts from those "modified" assemblies that appear to have been orphaned by the tweaks.

Ive had assemblies go awry in the .ipn before after replacing components or similar, but I can usually delete the problematic tweaks and recreate them without having to delete the original .ipn and re-create the entire drawing(s).

The modified assemblies are moved as if there are tweaks applied but if you switch the browser to tweak view and hover over the indivdual tweaks, no tweak exist for the modifed assemblies either.

Our only option has been to delete the original .ipn / .idw and re-create them. (undesirable)

Is there some way to refresh the browser?

Has my procedure created the issue?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks!

Just adding a link to my topic about what i think is the same problem.

Didn't know this older topic existed, but hope this problem will get some more attention and maybe a solution.
