Re: Assembly part not deleting
Can you post a screenshot here
Seems to me that there are some missing ref. (parts might be moved to different folders) and the assembly couldn't find the parts and as a result, those parts don't exist so you can't delete them
-
Re: Assembly part not deleting
This is what is shown and every part is still in its original folder. Also when i look in the references tab when i open the assembly everything seems to be in the correct place.

Re: Assembly part not deleting
I don't see any green arrow from your screenshot
Also did you open the assembly from the server which was shared by someone else at the time you tried to delete the parts?
By the way, did you see a message popup as the one I show here when you deleted parts?

I assume he means this green arrow on the Part icons. I don't believe I've ever seen it before.

Re: Assembly part not deleting
I opened the assembly in my local c drive and the parts are also saved in the same folder. The green arrow is shown in the part icon as Glenn marked in the screenshot.

Re: Assembly part not deleting
Also I created a new assembly with random parts just to see if it will keep doing it and it does.

Re: Assembly part not deleting
That is really strange!! I've never seen it and, apparently, not even Solidworks....
Are you sure you're working in design mode and not in simulation or motion, etc...
-
Re: Assembly part not deleting
Yeah I have never seen this before either. I am pretty sure, is there a way to verify which mode i am in?

Re: Assembly part not deleting
I believe that this is part of SolidWorks 3D Interconnect which allows you to import part files created in other formats without translation.

You're right. I should have remembered this thread earlier: What is this Icon...

Re: Assembly part not deleting
Well, now we know what it is but I'm at a loss why it can't be deleted.

Re: Assembly part not deleting
Do you get a warning message when you're trying to delete it?
Which commands appear in the menu when you right click and expand it?
Edit: Did you maybe open up a non-native assembly instead of the SolidWorks version?

Re: Assembly part not deleting
That seems to be exactly what my issue is but the parts that i placed into the assembly i made in Solidworks so i do not know if i maybe saved the part wrong and it is reading it as an external file.

Re: Assembly part not deleting
Hi,
I just solved a support regarding the issue. The customers part tamplates was corrupted in the way that SolidWorks thought that the part was a Interconnect part. A fresh Part template solved the issue with new assemblies.
Hope this helps
