Sub-Assembly move question

Am thinking there's probably a simple answer to this.

Have an assembly with a few subassemblies and no constraints. I try to move them to see what I'm doing. Some move okay, but the others give me a 'you are trying to move a fixed component' message before allowing movement. Trying to think of reasons why some move without the message and some don't?

Thanks in Advance

Have you checked to see if that are any Assembly Constraints at all? The message would indicate at there may be at least a few of the Components which have 'Fixed' Constraints assigned to them.

John -

There are constraints in the sub assemblies some of which are fixed. There are none at the top level. Do they propogate up the heirarchy?

Thanks

Are you sure that the top-level Assembly is still the Work Part? And you've NOT set the Sub-Assembly to be the Work Part?

Yes I'm sure of that. I also did a right mouse button , show degrees of freedom on the sub assembly and it says there are 3 of each (Rx/Tx)

Try selecting the subassenbly from the part navigator, not from a screen pick. For me, selecting from a screen pick changes the work part.
