IPart representation showing different in the assembly

In the attached pic you can see i have included 2 types of i-Part, the representation is different for both. why it is showing like this.

in the attached pic, i'm running the iLogic rule to change the row of that i-parts, the 1st i-part is changing the row, but the 2nd i-part is not changing.

whenever i'm suppressing the i-part and un-suppressing, it sometimes search for the i-part file, and when i resolve by selecting the parent i-part, the representation changes as shown in pic .

Hi!

In one case is the iPart itself, and in the other case is one of the member of an iPart.

For the code issue you can give a fullfilename to the component in order to speed up finding the files. If it is losing a link when suppressing then you will need to bypass the code when in suppression stage. Can you share the code to test?

Hi! One is an instance of an iPart member file and the other one is an instance of an iPart factory file. You probably convert a regular part that is already hosted in an assembly, to an iPart factory. As a result, the iPart factory file (instead of an iPart member) is hosted by the assembly, I suggest you right-click on the iPart factory instance in the browser -> Components -> Replace Components -> select an iPart member file.

Many thanks!
