cannot delete frame component

[steven.coxVCM6J]

Hi all,

I have frame members that I am unable to delete.  I get this failure notice...

I found a post with the same problem form back in 2018 that appears to not have been resolved.

I am not sure how I got here, but I need to get the references out out of the model as these members are not a part of the model.  I changed them the reference parts to get them out of the BOM, but I hate having issues in my model.

As suggested in the other thread, I was unable to demote them.

My NDA does not allow me to post the frame or I would.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Steven

It appears this was caused by a corrupt component file.

I deleted the component files, then opened the model and replaced the unresolved frames with an good file.

The frames then showed up in the model and I was able to delete them.  All is right with the world again.

I had to do size changes to adjacent members and this did not sit well with the FG.  Had to go back and fix a few connections so I guess that had something to do with it.

Hope this will help others.

Thanks, Steven
