Can't move a flexible assembly

I have a sub-assembly that is flexible, (constrained properly, not grounded) and when I try to move it in the main assembly, I get the "universal NO" symbol attached to my cursor.  There are no constraints preventing the movement in the sub, since I can move it however I want when the sub is opened.  Any reason why this would happen?  And how can I fix it.

Hi Myles1,

 

Are there any Positional representations at play here, in the subassembly and/or top level assembly? That's the first thing that came to mind.

 

The second suggestion would be to go to the Manage tab > Rebuild All button and see what happens when you click it.

 

Additionaly, you might provide a screen capture of the browser at the subassembly and top level assembly, so others can see what you're seeing, hopefully something will stand out.

 

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

Any bad/sick constraints will stop the item from moving as well.

by "flexible" did you mean you right clicked on that subassembly in the top level sub-assembly and checked "flexible" or just the fact that it "should" be flexible..

Just checking...

I right clicked on the sub in the main assy, and selected "flexible".
