Are you using the correct Project File, items that reside outside the Work Directory may get treated as a Library item which by default is "Read-Only".

Without having the files to look at it's pretty much a guess. If possible, can you do a "Pack-and-Go" and post the files.

Hi Junyu,

The browser shows a sign of corruption. Assembly sketch cannot be shared yet. But, your assembly seems to show that the sketch is shared. Could you try moving EOF below the mirror feature and then edit the skethc? If it still does not work, please attach the files here or send them to me directly (johnson.shiue@autodesk.com).

Many thanks!

Hi Junyu.

There is indeed some sign of corruption and also possible cyclic constraint relationship in the sketch. The best alternative workflow is deleting the sketch and the hole and recreating them. I will work with project team to understand this case better.

Many thanks!
