How to remove a component, that is not listed in model tree?

Hi there,

 

I' ve got an odd problem. I made an assembly and added several components.

With one component I tried to use "Set Representation to..." in combination with combined views.

But it did not worked as wanted, so I deleted all custom combined views and set SimpRep to Master. So far so good.

 

The party started, when I tried to make a BOM with a Web.Link script. The script works that way, that it list all components and counts them.

The BOM by script shows me a additional component, which I used to do the combined views testing and which I deleted from the assembly afterwards that testing.

The BOM by Creo's own "Tools" -> "Investigate" -> "BOM" is correct.

 

When I dig a little deeper and use Model Info for the assembly, I get this interesting screen shot attached to this question.

 

So how could I get rid of this not-listed-component?

 

BTW, I use Creo 2.0 M110

Mat,

If you send me your assembly model I can easily do this for you. If it is proprietary, simply Suppress all the components and send me the .ASM file only. When you get it back you can Resume All the components and you'll be good as new.

Matthias,

You say the mystery component is not in your Model Tree...are you sure? Have you checked the Tree Filter settings to make sure that Suppressed objects are displayed?

Hi Gavin,

I tried this in the first place, but all options are checked (even in "cabling", "piping", etc.).

Matthias,

mystery component is not retrieved (see Status column), check Master Representation.

Firstly open mystery component and then the assembly. What happens ?
