iAssembly Member Update Issues

I have an iAssembly that I created with several iAssembly members. Whenever, I Create a view of a specific iAssembly Member I get a bubble next to the view stating "Member out-of-date: Update or re-generate member file". I try opening the member file and I get the following error "Member xxxx.iam must be updated from xxxxx.iam. Regenerate the member file by editing the factory. Open Factory?" I've tried deleting all of the members, recreating them, Opening each part file and assembly, saving everything over and over. No matter what I do it Inventor keeps stating that my members are out of date.

HELP ME PLEASE! I don't know what else to try.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

1. Are you multi-selecting members and generating files?
If yes, can you try generating one member first... and see if you
can create a clean view.
2. Any chance this iAssembly has an iPart in it, where in, each member is
using a different iPart?

If the answer is no to both... can you zip up and email the files to me
vijay.ilavarasan@autodesk.com
if >10MB, email me asking for a FTP location.

Thanks,

Hi Steve,

Recieved your dataset. Thanks.
I was able to reproduce the problem and logged it in our system.
We are looking into it.
More updates as I get.

Hi,
I am having the same problem. I do have an iAssembly where each member is using a different iPart. How do I resolve the problem.

Hi! I might have missed the thread. Could you elaborate on what the problem
is?
Thanks!

Hi,

You might try one of the following that will probably address the problem:

1. Generate one member at a time. ( there is an issue with multi generating
when you have Table replace)
2. If that doesn't work, one or more of your parts might be in a bad state.
To address this, the best thing i would recommend is, run the Task Scheduler
and migrate all the files (even if it already migrated) with the option to
Rebuild checked. This will make sure that all the Parts and Assemblies are
built clean and then you can generate the members and this should take care
of any problems.

Let me know if you still have issue. I might need to take a look at the
files.

I have the same problem but I'm not able to resolve it using the method you describe. I'll be happy to zip the Inventor files and hand them to you. They are to large to be posted as an attachment, though. Is there another channel I can use? Message was edited by: motoTommy

Hello Vijay.
Some time ago I got a reply from you to a message a posted on the Inventor discussion group that I was supposed to send you an e-mail and then you would provide an ftp access where I could upload some files to illustrate the problem. The files have already been submitted to Autodesk through our
local Autodesk reseller, Sikroma AB. The problem has been reproduced and acknowledged by Autodesk. I belive it has something to do with use of patterns in iAssemblies. The BOM seems to be malfunctioning if a pattern is used as a control in the iAssembly author. Do you know the status of this error report? Do you need more examples?

Best regards,

When I get that message I will normally open the lowest level iassembly and start the iassembly author, close and save. Working my way up to the highest level. This normally (always so far) fixes the problem.

I am also having this issue and it has cost my company about $1000. I am becoming so enraged with the low quality of Autodesk software that I beg our IT department to someday switch to a well known competitor. We have on average one crash a day while working on projects and it seems like the software never becomes more stable, just features added that end come probably causing more problems.
