Disappearing Parts in Assembly

[andrewwhiteinc]

Hey Guys, i have no idea why these parts won't show up. My drafter was working on these and they just "vanished" and i have been unable to get them to return. If anyone has any insight or something that we can try that would be great. Its not something obvious (design view rep, visibility, etc.) and you can open the parts individually)

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Please always mention the version of Inventor in your posts, I cannot open your files since they are 2014.  If  you post the version, people will know wether they can help or not right away.

Good luck.

Ah, thanks for the heads up, I never had to post in the general forum, always in the customization which has not been an issue to this point

This is not related to your problem, but part 0000-110KW-MDC_106.ipt is not modeled correctly for a sheet metal part - end cuts like that must be set to Cut - Across Bends.  (which reveals further problem with the model)

Sketch3 in _103 is placed at the origin, but not constrained to the origin?

[JDMather]

If I change to the Default View Representation - all is visible.

Or at least it was.

Digging deeper.

Wait a minute - there is a floater....

Zoom in on the assembly origin.

There is an assembly there - with a bunch of floaters wayyyyy out in space.

Window select the assembly and right click select Isolate.

Delete everything in gray from the browser.

Even within this assembly there are many parts that are not constrained.

Do not do this - it is too easy to drag something out into space.

Thanks, he was in the processing of constrainting these parts
