I have a hard time substituting some components in an assembly with a simplified representation using interchange assemblies. It just keeps saying "Substitution failed because no replacement items were found."
What am I doing wrong?
Here is what I try to achieve:
On our machines we have a certain lightning set, including a license plate light.
I created an interchange assembly, with the detailed license plate light, and a simplified version of it. That is defined as a simplify in that interchange assmbly.
But as a try to substitute this component with it simplified version, it says that no replacement items were found:
All assemblies are in session and regenerated. I have succeeded with this before, but now it seems impossible. Do I miss something? Why is the interchange assembly not recognized? Is Reference Pairing needed? Do we have some company settings that prohibit this? I can't get it...
Attached the interchange assemby as a reference. Using Creo 10. Any explanation of how to solve this would be lovely.

I was able to reproduce with your files. I made my own interchange assembly with your files though and was able to make the sub without issues. So the issue is likely your interchange assembly.
To make mine, I just created a new one, added the functional part and then added the simplified part with a default placement constraint. Then I went back to the assembly and made a new simp rep and right clicked on the functional component and choose sub by interchange just like in your screenshot.
I did this in Creo 11 because I don't have 10 but this module hasn't changed that I am aware of.
