If you open this model structure in Inventor, is there any issues with it?

So you're using DA on a model that you performed a pack and go on, is that correct? What is the purpose of the pack and go assembly and using DA on it? Pack n go is really for giving your model structure to someone else outside of your organization.

You also have a model that is looking for files in a folder located under a desktop location and files on the network (assume "F" drive is a network location). Too me you have files located all over the place and really don't have a proper structure. Do those locations (desktop and network) exist and the files are there?

Thank you for your reply

consider that I have copied the folder which contain the main model which has inventor files , step files that taken from catia files and crew files, then I saved the folder from network to my pc on c section, after that I have used the DA to numbing without using pack and go ( as your mentioned) but I get tow massage: the first one tell me there is tow part not exist, and the second massage as illustrated with the attach file below.

My goal is how can I fit it in the right way

thank you again

The version of Design Assistant can only work on the same Inventor version file. The attached message indicates those files were last saved with a earlier version of Inventor. So that means they must be opened in the newer version of Inventor that's related to the version of Design Assistant that you're using, migrated, and saved.
