MarkFlayler Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 First rule of Inventor assemblies... They do not contain the parts, they reference them. If you provide only the Assembly, there will no parts in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAnnondale Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Hi Mark, Oppsss, so sorry for that, I forgot to do a Pack&Go. I will do that once I am back in the office. Anyway, Base from the example image. Do these error occurs or its just a matter of users error... BTW, I have created the channel and published it.

Hopinc Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hi Guys, Willie, I tried to simulate your problem, but without success. My mirrored assembly is just 4 parts, but it proves to you that Inventor mirror works OK. It will be interesting to see your files.

CAnnondale Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hi Guys, I have already did Pack&Go and file size 666KB. I am having problem uploading it. Any suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that you have used multiple parts! Am I correct? In my case I did use the Frame Generator by using a customized member and publish it.

Hopinc Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hi Willie, I did not realise that you had used the frame generator, now you bring it to my attention I can see that clearly in your assembly's history tree. Sorry about that, I should have looked more closely. You are quite correct, my assembly is just two parts mirrored. I haven't used the frame generator for a while. I will refresh my use and try again to simulate your problem. BTW- Pack & Go always collects a vast amount of information that more often than not is irrelevant (despite using all the filters available). It does however collect all the necessary data when it is spread over many sources, and it has it's uses, but I prefer to avoid it if I can. These days, I keep a copy of all the parts of an assembly in a specific (to that assembly) project directory - including copies of all Content Centre Parts. With everything in one place, and no unneccessary information, it is much easier to control. I never have a problem with broken links.

Hopinc Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hi Willie, I have an answer for you. The first attached image shows exactly what you got. The rest show how to cure the problem. Firstly, when you select the framework to mirror, deselect "Reuse Standard Content Centre and Factory Parts." Now select each part that you have mirrored (you can do them all at once) in the history tree and then click the green icon "Mirrors the selected objects" button from the top three. You will see the adjacent icon in the history tree change to match and your assembly will be correctly mirrored. Click next and then OK. Sorted!
