Trying to edit and assembly. Click on edit but the only thing i seem to be able to do is move the origin. How do you do it !!!

  • Move and element in the assembly
  • Close and save the changes - It stays highlighted and the only way is to exit the drawing. Been Looking for the symbols\toolbar on the help but its MIA
  • Capture.PNG

So - after more experimentation, I discovered something - The floating toolbar only appears when Revit is on my primary monitor

 

I am using a surface pro with a dock station and second monitor. When Revit is on the second monitor - no floating toolbar to close, add, remove. Move Revit to the primary monitor - it appears. I found a similar issue with DB LINK buttons and display scaling. The scaling made no difference in this instance.

 

Autodesk Techs - add this to your bug list please

Im in 2019 and Im unable to close after entering the "edit assembly". There is no finish or close box. Its not floating off somewhere or hidden behind anything. I have searched thoroughly.  No amount of keyboard shortcut adds or removals has helped, and this has been ongoing for sometime. 

I have even gone to the extreme of removing EVERY short cut key and reentering only what I need. Still no change, still stuck in edit assembly with no way of closing out and saving my changes. 

 

I do have 2 monitors, so by chance, I went into my taskbar settings to fool around with them and see what I could figure out. After trying multiple combinations and re-editing my short cut keys again, I finally found a working solution.

 

Im not sure which settings impacted the issue and caused it to finally start working, so I will list all the settings I changed. 

Combine Taskbar buttons                        Never

Show taskbar buttons on                         taskbar where the window is open

Combine Buttons on other taskbars       Never

 

In Revit, I went into options,  user interface, keyboard shortcuts, customize and typed in "Finish" . 

Under  "Finish     Contextual Tabs>Edit Assembly"  I added my shortcut FA (you can add whatever) and closed out.

In the project I opened my assembly, made my change, then typed in FA. VIOLA!!!  The assembly closed.

Again, I am not sure all of these changes are required, they are just the changes I had made when it finally started working.
