Wildfire 4 Family Table Issue

Greetings,

I am having some trouble with a family table that I made to break down an assembly.

A component that I listed to be in Family Table Instances is not showing up when I open up those instances. I'm not sure why this is happening any input would be appreciated.

I'm using Wildfire 4.

Thanks

Thanks for the response Dale,

I was actually able to solve my problem. Turns out the part that was disappearing was restrained to a component that was further down the model tree. So when I would open up the instance in the family table it wouldn't recognize the part because it wasn't constrained to anything within that instance.

So if anyone else ever has this issue check how the parts in your assembly are constrained, and do some planning ahead of time, if I had planned my assembly model better ahead of time I wouldn't of had this issue.
