Include/Exclude pattern in iassembly

[swordmaster]

Hi,
I have a strange problem with this iassembly, it has different component patterns which i either exclude or include.
Problem is when i choose to exclude a pattern it does not exclude all elements of the pattern!
The number of elements which are excluded varies.
In the browser it shows the pattern as being excluded however when i expand the pattern only the first few elements are excluded
Any ideas why this is happening?

I am not sure why this is happening. Can you please post your dataset or
email it to me (yizhou.cao at autodesk.com)?

Thanks,

I found a workaround for this issue. Let me take component Brass_nut as the example:
Edit the table and change the value for Row1,Column "Brass_nut:Include/Exclue" from"Exclude" to "Include". Click OK. Then edit the table again, change that value back to "Exclude".
Now the Brass_nut pattern is in correct status.

Would you please try this workaround? please let me know if it's not workable or have other problems.

Thanks for your surpport.

Jessica,
Your workaround works up to a certain point..changing the include/exclude status works,however if i save and close the model the original problem re-occurs.
So as a workaround this wont work for me.
FYI I added the number of pattern elements to the table and set the value to 1 when the pattern was to be excluded. This worked ...makes the table rather complicated though

thanks
