Using Creo 8.0 and WC 12.

I have an assy that was created a while ago.

Some parts and sub assys are editable, but some are not.

Any suggestions on the subject?

Thanks

So, after a lot of guessing, I found out that the questionable assy had a family members and those members that I was not able to edit definition were defined on the family member level/ When switched to an instant level assy, edit definition function was available. Thanks you.

Not enough information for an informed answer. Can you provide a screen shot of the issue including the tree?

My best guess from given description - Are the parts read only features?

My best guess would be that everything is "locked" in workspace. Or "released" or in some other non-modifiable state.

Thanks for looking into the problem
