Welding an Assembly of Weldment subassemblies.

[afroese]

Is there any way to weld together an assembly of weldment subassembly files?

I have an assembly that includes subassemblies (which I have converted to weldments) and sheet metal parts. Now I want to convert my main assembly to a weldment to weld the subweldments together. Is this possible?? I can't seem to get it to work.

Inventor does not let me select "Convert to Weldment" in my main assembly. See the attached image.

As Ryan Suggested, go to the Assemble Tab. It should not be greyed out
there.

see the attached drawing, even when in the assemble tab I cannot convert the assembly to a weldment. Any idea why?

What's in the 3rd party folder? Save a backup and try deleting it.

Without the files, we are only able to guess.

Try deleting the sketch?

Also, maybe it has something to do with Positional Representations? I haven't tried yet to see if having posreps makes a difference.
