As you can imagine from the title, I'm making a frame; however, something went wrong with saving, which caused the assembly, where I made the frame, to somehow not include the frame gen in it, so today, I had to add the frame in this assembly manually. All is good so far, but now it comes. I want to add more frame parts to the frame, and now the assembly doesn't recognize it as a frame anymore but as a regular assembly. When I use the "Insert Frame" tool, it wants to create a new frame, which I don't want.
There is no old version and we don't use vault so I cannot revert back to that. We work old fashioned with Inventor 2020. Is there a way to get my new frame parts in my original frame with the "Insert Frame" tool. Or to let the Assembly recognize the assembly as a frame again?

Hi!
Are you using a project file? and if so, is active? and all the parts and folders are inside the main project folder?
we have on general project, so not one for each order. It's always active and everything is within the main folder indeed. I do not think it has anything to do with that anyway.
Could you give us a print of the model with the model browser panel ay least.
It's difficult to discover something with so little information.
This is how my model tree looks like.
The BDP-010-Basismodel is a multi body part that has the frame sketches from where I made the frame. But this Assembly didn't safe the frame in it somehow. while the frame itself has been saved. Now I added the frame in it but now it sees it as a regular assembly instead of a generated frame. So I can make changes but I cannot add new frame parts to it.
It should be having this symbol instead of the assembly symbol
If you create a new frame generator basic model, it happens again? or is only in that model?
I believe the frame sub assembly lost the link with the multisolid file, that's why i asked about the project file...
It has lost it's link indeed, but can I somehow reconnect that? I do not fancy recreating the entire thing all again.
I guess is not possible to reconnect the reference sketch to the subassembly to turn it in a "manual frame generator" sub assembly.
The automatism is created in the initial assembly, where you created the frame.
Tip: Check the old versions folder and try to open the original assembly.
Yeah, I know that. That's f'ed. There have been some changes, and now I have to remake the whole frame.
That was the first thing I did, but no old versions. I also stated that in my initial question.
