I am in my main assembly and trying to make a sub-assembly as my active for Piping. I get the message "can not modify part intersected by assembly visible feature" and it will not change to the sub-assembly.
I am using Piping for water lines in this particular sub-assembly, but need to route around components in the mail assembly. I had water lines and fittings assembled into the sub-assembly previously, but we all know how things change.... hence I had to replace/redo from point 'D' to point 'M' and keep the rest that remained from A to Z. I did suppress the previous components, for future as there is always the chance the lines will be run that way again (learned that long ago). Question is, how do I get by this error?
I can refresh the complete sub-assembly from the Commonspace and then am able to set the sub-assembly as active within the main assembly, but I would like to know what may have caused this error so as to avoid it in the future. Thank you!!
