Greetings all, I am new to inventor (previous Solidworks user). I cant seem to find my own answer after much searching and I suspect there is a simple answer, but I am just going in circles now.
I created an assembly on a different station in our network, then went to open it on my current station. It makes my assembly a sub-assembly and generates a top level assembly that auto names itself (AssemblyX). The (now) sub-assembly is grounded and will not allow selection of individual parts in the design design window. In Solidworks I would "dissolve sub-assembly", but that type of option isn't available.
I don't understand whats going on, or even why this would be helpful.
It looks to me as if you are working with two different releases of Inventor. The icons showing in the model browser are indicating that the assembly you created on the other computer is being used only as a reference on your computer, instead of being opened. This is because the other computer is a newer version of Inventor. Inventor AnyCAD allows referencing of newer Inventor files, but they cannot be opened or edited.
I expect this would be a similar problem for Solidworks.
