I'm create two asseblies with refference to component "ladder.prt".

In ladder.prt I have created ladder with variable number of steps (Instance array)

In first assemly I assign interpart reference in Expressions
"ladder"::p75 = 10
in second assembly
"ladder"::p75 = 6

then I save both assemblies end quit application.

When I try to open assemblies there was an error

"Could not open c:/assembly1.prt
The following file could not be loaded,
cousing this open to fail:
c:/assembly1.prt - attribute already exists"

How can i fix this?

NX Version?

Probably just shutdown and restart NX will do it.

I was able to open it fine in NX 6.0.3.2. I performed a complete 'Part Cleanup' and did a save. Attached are the 'cleaned-up' files. See if this helped.

Thank you for help!
May be this problem just because of version NX 6.0.0.24
 
Yes, the assembly modifyed by you, works normaly.
Original file stil don't work with my NX 6.0.0.24...
 
May I suggest that you update your version of NX ASAP as the NX 6.0.2.8 update has been available for download for sometime now from the GTAC support site.

Good idea.
Only one problem - "system administrator", :) update takes some time...
Thank you for help!
 
Terali,

You can try this- Open the assembly with Load Options set to "No Components", then try to open its children parts.

Why I am suggesting this is, whenever I do some changes (like deleting feature) in the model and try to open its Drawing file, I always get 'file open failure message', so I follow the above procedure which works for me.
 
No, I think this is an issue which was fixed in at least NX 6.0.1.x. We had a couple of albeit rare yet still not impossible assembly modeling issues which were discovered after NX 6.0.0.24 shipped but which were fixed in the first MR. So I still think that the only solution is to install the latest release of NX 6.0 as soon as possible.
