Design Library Error

[GunT]

Hello,

We have the our library components/ purchased components stored in the Design Library folder on a Server. We used to able to drag n drop the components into assemblies without any problem.

But now one of my designers is having a weird error while he tries to drag n drop some of the components:

" Failed to drop Palette Feature. The drop site or Palette Feature is not appropriate".

What is weird is it happening to only one guy and on just some of the parts.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I would contact your VAR and let them know and see if they have anything to say... I can't find anything in the KB at SW on that error.

I thought I read somewhere that a multibodied part will not work this way. Maybe I was thinking of something else?

Is it always the same parts which will not drop?
Is it always the same assy that parts will not drop into?
Are all computers using the same SW version and SP?
Is the 'rogue' computer running ACAD or any Add-ins that the others aren't?

CBL,

The problem is interminent. It looks like the subset of the parts that are getting dropped is decreasing. I have created some new test assemblies just to test dragn drop. The problem exists independent of the assemblies. Yes,all the computers have same SW and SP. Yes the rogue computer is having ACAD but so do some of the other computers.

Chris,

It is not related to Multi-body parts.

Scott,
It looks like thats the way to go.

Thanks guys for the help.

Have all the parts and assemblies been updated/converted to your installed version of SW?

 

[GunT]

Yes they have been converted to the installed version.

" Failed to drop Palette Feature. The drop site or Palette Feature is not appropriate".

Solution = Click on the folder in the design library and disable the option "Forming tools folder"
