iLogic Place assembly not appearing / placing

[Anonymous]

Hi All, 

Thanks for taking the time to read my post! So I have developed a number of assemblies that I want to use through the ilogic place function - they are not iassemblies, just assemblies that reconfigure using ilogic code.

I'm now trying to roll these assemblies out for other users and a common problem that they are having is that when they try and put them into their models using the ilogic place function the assembly doesn't appear. You just have a little + symbol next to the cursor and that's all that happens in Inventor. However, if you look in the folder where the users model is saved a copy of the iassembly has been created as it should. 

I'm only having this problem with assemblies. If I try and place a single part using ilogic place it works absolutely fine. 

Has anybody else come across this issue / have any thoughts on what it might be or how to solve it???

Many Thanks!

Which version of Inventor are you using? Please post the information from the Help > About Autodesk Inventor dialog. Here's the command:

Did you try ThisDoc.Document.Rebuild() at the end of your code?

Hi all, thank you for the replies. I discovered that the issue was caused by vaulted files not being up to date. Basically any file that needs refreshing or in some cases checking out from Vault stopped the assembly from appearing. I can only guess as to why that would be but maybe if you were placing the assembly normally Inventor would give you an error message letting you know that those files needed refreshing but for some reason that doesn't happen if you use ilogic place. 

Cheers,
