I have a sick FG member but when I try and delete it I get this.
Now what??
You can try the following:
1. Select a member which cannot be deleted -> right-click -> Components -> Replace All -> find another part or any dummy part.
2. After that, select the new part and simply delete.
That might have been helpful 2 days ago, but I couldnt wait that long so I deleted the whole frame assembly and made it again.
Yah, its a pain, but now you know to just find a dummy part and replace it then delete it. Sometimes the rebuild all will help, but very rarely. Also hate it when it won't let you delete end treatments on some parts.
I keep getting the same message. I've tried replacing the part as suggested, but nothing I do works. Is there something else I haven't tried, or is this a bug that won't fix? I really don't want to have to start over every time this happens
Heres an idea; how about Autodesk fixes frame generator?! This would be an amazing feature in Inventor, if Autodesk would get off they're a$$ an make it work like it should!
-When a member is reused and is flipped, ANY change to the skeleton causes it to flip back to the original orientation. I know it depends on what part of the line you pick on, what determines its orientation, but instead of picking on section of line and realizing thats not it, then deleting that member, trying to pick a different section of the line, then realizing thats not correct either, why not just make it so that reused members can be reorientated and changes to the skeleton won't affect the orientation??
This tool has been around for a long time, why are there still so many bugs? I look around on this forum for when I have trouble with it and all I see are problems with it. I saw that there is a case (Case #09728018 - Frame Generator part flips unexpectedly) open about this, with Autodesk. It has been open for over a year but nothing seems to be getting done.
Had the same problem.
Right click the member that won't delete and promote it. It will bring it up one level and it loses its reference and now you can delete it.

This worked for me.
Hope it helps.
