Component Replace Option Missing from Some Assemblies

[Francis.Foley]

Hi I'm having an issue with some assemblies. The component replace option is missing from the drop down list when I click on it!

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

I'm using Inventor Professional 2021.

Is that missing for all weldment assemblies?

I don't use them but it could be that component replace isn't something you can do with weldments.. Components inside a weldment yes but the weldment itself no..

Both items are weldment assemblies.

@Francis.Foley  The second image you posted isn't showing you clicking on a weldment.. Thats a sheet metal part inside a weldment..

I see my error, I opened the incorrect assembly. I was trying to replace an assembly in sub assembly of the main assembly.

All  I need to so was open the sub assembly and replace the assembly in that.

Sorted thanks.
