I would like to be able to click on a fitting from a run that I am not working on to use with the "Place Fitting" command in a run that I am working on. Currently I have to get the fitting from the content center or library and place it in the run, and then I can click the fitting and then click place fitting for it to place in that fitting without having to search for it.
@shawn.payne, When you select the fitting in another run which you are not working on from browser, and click place fitting, it will work fine.
You could also change the selection filter to part priority, and the fitting in another run which you are not working on can be selected. It will work fine when clicking place fitting.
It will work, but once you do that there are problems. After you go to part priority and select a part from a different run and place it in it starts having issues selecting parts in the run you are working in. If you are working inside a run before you do that you can select parts while still in component priority. Once you do that it starts to not work and you have to go to part priority to select parts in the run you are working in. If I do select a part and place it in from a non active run I will select it again and place it from the library to get a "fresh part". It seems like the parts might have some kind of back end problem when I do it from another run. Sometimes you can click edit orientation and the arrows don't appear. Their must be some behind the scenes file or database and it doesn't like getting parts from anther run.
@shawn.payne, I am using Inventor 2019, and it works for me based on your new workflow. Could you provide a video for the workflow, and make sure we are in the same page?
