Cannot inserted PCB error due to circular reference

[kris.chlapek]

Hiya

So ive created PCB based on the scetch that i had on my desigh, but i`m unable to actuually insert this pcb into the assembly. I get error that says:

"Cannot insert PCB into design because it will create a circular refrence."

Any one can help me understand what to do?

Both files attached.

@jeff_strater There seems to be a problem with the .f3z file:

Attached is the F3Z file containing the mechanical assembly and the PC Board.  You will not get the Circular Reference if you first open the F3D file of the mechanical assembly and then insert the PC Board.  If you try and use the mechanical assembly, contained in the F3Z file, you will get the failure.  Be cautious when you upload the attached F3Z file and do not mess up your folders.  Once uploaded you will want to open the Probe design v19.  I only placed the Probe PCB in the assembly, I did not try and position it.

Hi John

Thanks for your reply. I didn`t mentioned what you have done to make it work.  Ok, it works with your versions but for whatever reasom i`m still struggling to use my original files.

Your statement does not make sense.  In my return post, I explained the process I used to make it work. Since you did not understand what I did from that, I created a Screencast showing my process.  You have my file so I did not upload it again.

Thanks. That works well. Sorry for the above typo.

Is there any reason the original design that i reference the PCB cannot be used, but does work on the copy of the same assembly?
