assembly problem

[billywhiz]

I am using swx 2007 and I am having a problem when I go into parts that are in my assy to modify them, Now and again when I click on minimize the part to open the assy to see if my mod worked it come up with "Assy not accessible at this time one or more items in a rollback state", even though they are not. I can even close and save all the parts and it still tells me the same thing. Does anyone know how to get out of this without loosing all the mods you have done to the assy since it was opened??

Seems to me this was discussed recently. Search for rollback in recent posts here and the SWX forums.

I had a high level assembly with similar behavior not too long ago. I even ran the macro that handleman wrote for identifying rolled back parts to no avail. It went away when I cycled through the configurations of the sub assembly that I suspected was the cause.

OK I'll give that a try next time, However I seem to recall this happening on main assemblies that had no sub assemblies, I even closed and saved all the parts related to the assembly and the main assy was still locked. it will not even let me close swx in the program I have to go into task manager and close it from there,

Could you be in the middle of editing a sketch in the part when you switch over to look at the assembly?

well that might happen occasionally however I don't normally rollback the part to modify something unless I want to find out how it was constructed, and like I say even with all the parts saved and exited the assy is still frozen

Try this:
1. copy your assy and part files to a new folder.

2. with solidworks closed, delete one part file using windows explorer

3. open solidworks, open assembly (solidworks will not be able to find deleted part and will suppress it in the assembly)

4a. if rollback message appears, close solidworks and repeat steps 2-3 above

4b. if rollback message does not appear, open last deleted part (from original folder) and determine why it is causing the rollback error.
