I have been having a problem lately where when I open an interchange assembly, all the components disappear.
If I close the assembly and verify a family table which uses them, it still works properly.
But if I want to add a new component to the interchange assembly then I can't.
I am using WF4 and I have never had this problem before.
We have recently changed from Windchill to something called Blue Star so I am wondering if it has anything to do with this.
I have noticed that Blue Star cannot distinguish that a interchange assembly needs to be uploaded with an assembly so it does have to be manually uploaded.
Just fishing for any thoughts please.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I don't know how I figured this out but I opened the interchange assembly in Geometry only rep version.
The components didn't disappear but in the tree they said not retrieved.
I right clicked on one and said open.
After that, then they appeared as normal in the tree and I was able to add a new component.
Also I just opened it with Creo 2 and the components also disappeared as soon as it finished loading all of them.

Now I am opening another interchange which is having the same problem but the original solution is not working.
I am noticing a message that says "WARNING: Component xxx has no reference to interchange, removing...."
