Rodney,

I met similar situation in CR3 M020. I used the following procedure to resolve the problem.

I started Creo session
I opened top assembly (for example myasm.asm.22) from original directory
I created backup directory (for example c:\backup)
I applied Backup command on top assembly into backup directory
I ended Creo session
In backup directory I renamed top assembly file (for example from myasm.asm.1 to myasm.asm.23)
I copied renamed top assembly file from backup directory to original directory
I started Creo session and opened top assembly (myasm.asm.23) from original directory ... assembly display was OK

Rodney,

What are the results if you change the display style to Wireframe/Hidden Line/No Hidden/Shading after retrieving the assembly?

I just would like to know what causes this problem . I have seen it happen a few time in the past and not sure if it is a software bug or something I am doing incorrect .

Thanks

Basic question but I gotta ask...Are the parts hidden or turned off in a layer?

I guess the problem is caused by software bug...

I assume this same model opened up on another machine exhibits the same issue?

I would suggest opening up a support ticket with PTC. See if they can explain the behavior.

Rodney,

Try below steps (not sure whether it will work or not), if it fails create a case for Tech. Support.

1. File > Options > System colors

2. Miscellaneous > Change color for 2D Model References to some other > Ok

3. Check component display in assembly.

Martin Hanak , I tried your solution and it corrected the problem . Talked with our CAD manager about this and he to has seen this problem on few occasions . I believe it is a software bug also .
