Can not constrain after using pattern

hi,

when I use the rectangular pattern function, I am no longer able to add extra constraints within my assembly. 
the design doctor does not highlight.

my model reps says, primary-and locked.

Attach assembly here.

If it is proprietary - make up a simple dummy assembly that illustrates the issue.

In general - you should not need any other constraints other than those on the pattern seed.

Just to check. Are you on Inventor 2023 and did you update to 2023.0.1?

There was a bug in the original release of 2023 that prevented moving parts after applying a pattern. I'm not sure if this could be the case. i.e. the constraint is not able to move the part and is giving an error?

If not, attach your assembly as suggested above.

@pbainKCQSW,

 

About blank home issue, could you please share your WebBrowser via zip/ screenshot? 

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Inventor 2023\WebBrowser folder:

HomeFiles.png

 

If these files are not available on your machine, is it possible for you to get InvHome.zip from install Setup_Update\Source\x64\INVHOME and extract it to above folder?
