Guest Orlik Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 My subassembly(saved as separate file) have different positions of shapes than in my main assembly. When I change window from main assembly to subassembly and vice versa, I can see that it's parts switches positions. My co-worker said that it is because of constraint, so I delated all constraints(both in main assembly and subassembly), but the problem remained. What is the reason, and how to fix it? How to make this sub-assembly to be unified with the main assembly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVAN GELDERN Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I'm guessing you may have different configurations set/selected in the two files. Configurations can be set to save part positions. Just a guess. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Steve may be correct. If your files have configuration and you have local configuration override external links, this could allow the files to have different positions. If you like, you can send the files to support and we can take a quick look to see if that is the case. Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Orlik Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 The sub-assembly dosen't have configurations, so theoretically(?) there should be only one setting of this sub-assembly. The main assembly have 2 configurations, but I don't know how that supposed to make any problem, if there is only one configuration for sub-assembly. How to fix it?

Malcolm Crowe Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Hi, Hopefully the attached image and video helps explain what is happening. If in your main assembly the "Local Configurations Override External Links" is selected, then the position of parts in the assembly can be different to that in the sub-assembly. If this is unselected (as per the image), then both the assembly and sub-assembly will be the same.

Guest Orlik Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I have it unselected and there is still that problem. https://ibb.co/G29Vb4C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Orlik Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I inserted second sub-assembly, and then the both updated to positions of saved separate sub-assembly. I don't know what happened, but this resolved this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
