Had posted this in the body of another thread but looks like this needs to be addressed by itself. Had one of our engineers say several times he was working in Inventor and all of a sudden his right mouse button would stop working. Was fine in every application except Inventor. Would have to restart Inventor to get that to work. Well, sure enough this morning I was working on an assembly and I RMB on a part in the model tree, got a quick error message could not find the part. After that, no right mouse button. Fine in every application except Inventor.
A couple engineers here seems to have nailed it down as they got the same results. When we download a STEP file from a vendor that is an assembly, creating a constraint kills the RMB. Basically we download a STEP file and open it. Often it's an assembly with hundreds of parts, so rather than saving all these parts in our project folder, we tweak the assembly to what we want and save a simplified part and break the link. BUT we have found if we download and open a STEP file assembly from a vendor, when we add a constraint before simplifying it we get a quick popup message that something cannot be found and after that we have no RMB. RMB works in every other application but not Inventor. Only fix is close everything and restart Inventor.
I'll try to get more data for this but wanted to get this posted to see if there are others experiencing this.
