Can't delete or add constraints in assembly

This assembly has many things either grayed out or simply not shown.  I don't have any positional representations set so it's not that.  When R clicking on a constraint in browser, I don't see my normal options (delete being one of them I need).  I only see

When right clicking on the component, I only see

Please Help!!!

Looks like the reason is because you cannot edit the constraints of a Frame Generator component member.

Has to be done through either editing the skeleton part or through the Frame Generator itself.

Share your files here so we can take a look, your images dont have much information in them about the nature of the assembly except that you have a table driven part.

I don't believe the particular part I'm R clicking on is a frame generator part.  It's just a content center part that I made two lengths of with a table.  What's strange here is that all parts within the assembly act the same giving me very few options to choose from and never letting me delete any of the existing constraints.  I was able to delete a constraint using iLogic but then I couldn't place a new constraint.

Correction it's not a content center part,  I think I drew this one when I was first starting with Inventor and didn't know about the content center yet.  Why does it show as an ipart?  Because of the table I created?

Here is a better overall view.  I'm not sure how to share entire file with all associated parts and content center items nor do I feel comfortable sharing it.

Hi! There was a similar thread exhibiting the same behavior. It seems that the iam file you are editing is like an iAssembly member file. A typical member file should be readonly. None of the editing command should be allowed. Somehow BOM command is allowed.

The file is corrupted in this state. Do you know how to reproduce it from scratch? Something does not look right to me.

Many thanks!

Would you be comfortable sharing the files if you deleted everything out except the few parts with the problem?  If yes, then save the assembly with a different name, delete out stuff you dont want to share (and make sure the problem you have still exists!), then do a pack and go into a new folder, you can inspect it to make sure there isnt anything you dont want to share, then zip it and attach here.
