I am assembling a body to a body. Haven't had any trouble till lately. When I assemble,,,it makes a copy of the body, hides it, yet assembles it too. When you look in the tree,,the assemble appears to be empty. The body becomes united to the main body,,, and I have a copy that is placed in NO SHOW. Just curious what step I am missing. Thank You

Ryan, it sounds like you are in Hybrid design mode. Check tools-options-infrastructure-part infrastructure- part document.

Actually this could may be assembling a hybrid body to a non hybrid. If you want to eliminate this from your model you could use copy/paste as result. If I remember correctly the with link option will not change the solid type.

OK,,thanks guys. So what is the proper way to start a file WITHOUT hybrid? I know it is under tools,, options. I thought I had already done this.
 
Have your system administrator turn Hybrid Modelling off for everone :)

If you get the "start part" window popping up, just uncheck Enable Hybrid Modelling. If not, TOOLS, OPTIONS, INFRASTRUCTURE, PART INFRASTRUCTURE, Part Document, and Uncheck Enable Hybrid Modelling
