part missing in scene and drawing

I have a fairly large assembly that is calling out one
assembly(pct-00237-001) that has another assembly(pca-00237-001) under it.
We originally had a panel assembled in PCA-00237-001, we have decided to
have it add later in pct-00237-001. For some reason in my highest level
assembly the panel shows up in model space but not in the scene or the
drawing. It is marked as visible in the scene.

In what I think is an unrelated issue I am now getting a error when I do a
recover on the top level assembly (otl-00237-001) I am told there are no
errors in the database. Then MDT starts to regenerate the model and I get
this warning 27 times:
Warning: Incomplete assembly data was detected. Attempting database
recovery.
(8)

Finally I am told there are 57 errors found and 57 errors fixed.
Auditing Mechanical desktop Data complete

pca-00237-001.dwg performed audit of feature suppression data in 53 updated
xref(s).
Performed audit of feature suppression data in 1 updated Xref file(s).
Please save otl-00237-001.dwg to preserve audit result.

I save the file and do a recover on pca-00237-001 (no errors found),
pct-00237-001 (no errors found) and tol-00237-001
no errors found.

I still can not see my panel in the otl-00237-001 scenes.

You are correct I am using ordinate dims. It took a couple tries but that
does work. Thank you very much for the info.

your welcome. I suggest playing with ampowercopy a little. It seems easier sometimes.
