Re: Part in the assembly disappear?
Seems to me that the link is broken; however, you should see the error mesg when you open the assembly?
Is the part in the FM grey out?
-
Re: Part in the assembly disappear?
Interesting enough there is no error. The part in the FM is not grey out either. The part appears 3 times in my assembly. I click every single one to locate them but nothing found. They are not suppress either. Where do they physically go?

Re: Part in the assembly disappear?
Do you see the features of the part in the feature manager tree when you open it. If yes then left/right click on any feature and select show.

Re: Part in the assembly disappear?
No. When I open the part file from the assembly, all I see is the blank screen and this from the FM tree

Re: Part in the assembly disappear?
wait a minute ... Are they virtual parts?
Can you post a screen shot of the FM
Do the missing parts in FM look the same as the one in the below image?
-
Re: Part in the assembly disappear?
No. The look like this below. That subassembly part has many configuration. Thanks

Re: Part in the assembly disappear?
Not try to be amused, but I guess someone just inserted blank parts into the assembly???

Re: Part in the assembly disappear?
I think John Stoltzfus is correct based on your image
see if you have a backup saved of that sub assembly from earlier or if there was an auto backup. If there is, you should be able to rename it and place it in the folder where the original was and it will be back - maybe an older version but better then redoing it from the start.

Re: Part in the assembly disappear?
Hi Rick,
I went back to previous revision and found the mate for this subassembly was suppressed. This subassembly is gone. I don't know where the part is now. I have to rebuild it. I think this is SW 2012 bug. Thank you

Re: Part in the assembly disappear?
I had sub assemblies disappear in front of my eyes as soon as I open them with the parts missing from the tree. And I'm the only one working on them. Our Solidworks service provider says at times assemblies can get corrupt while saving over the network. The PDM is suppose to prevent this.

Re: Part in the assembly disappear?
Hi Julie,
Can't afford PDM. SW crashes when I have two large assembly file open. I have to restart quite often to get it work. Thank you

Re: Part in the assembly disappear?
Not sure if you're aware of PDM standard including in the SW Premium and Pro. packatges

I modify my assembly. One of the part is missing (it is a subassembly). I can see the part number in the Feature Manager tree. When I right click to open it the file is blank in part file? What goes wrong?
What modification to you make to your Assembly? Did it have anything to do with this missing subassembly?

Re: Part in the assembly disappear?
Hi Glenn,
Engineer wants me to add more components. It has nothing to do with the missing subassembly but I did delete one single component.
Thanks
-
Re: Part in the assembly disappear?
Oh....
Sounds like you deleted the component while you were in the Main Assembly and it deleted the Sub-Assembly - When you delete any item, just make sure you're in the assembly of where the part is.....
