I'm trying to derive an assembly into a part so I can save it as a sat file to send to a customer.
I can derive some subassemblies separately, but when I try to derive the top level assembly I get a dialog box that says ;
"The attempted operation did not produce a meaningful result. Try with different"
I have tried rebuild all, making sure all parts are checked out and saved. The result I get is only a partial rendition of the assembly.
I'm running Inventor 2015
Thanks in advance for any help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you remove parts one-by-one does it suddenly work?
You can also export an assembly directly as an *.sat, but there might be a good reason to union them all together with Derived Component.
There are over 300 parts in this assembly and I was hoping to not have to take part off one by one. I don't want the customer to "part out" the assembly. We are trying to preserve intelectual property. I guess I can start to start deriving the pieces.
One more bit of information. we recently upgraded from 2009 to 2015. Might that make things a bit more difficult?
Have all the files been migrated to 2015? Try a Rebuild All and then Save your Assembly and all the parts to migrate them. See if that kicks it over for you.
If not, try the Shrinkwrap tool to see if that gives you the same error.

I've tried rebuild all and save. I saw the long list of files in the dialog box that said the following files have been migrated.
Shrinkwrap gives me the same result.
The error bos has two lines,
filename: Errors occurred during update
The attempted operation dod not produce a meaningful result. Try with different
OK, different what. Not sure why its updateing either. The assembly was freshly rebuilt and saved
Finally found it. There was a weld on hinge that I got as a step file years ago that was causing the problem. I had to remodel it and replace it in the assembly but it worked.
Thanks guys for your time.
