SWx08_sp4 I can’t move ( LMB clk hold n drag)parts inserted into my assembly. The part has no mates assigned it is not fixed no (f) next to in tree. And system options/ assembly move components by dragging is checkd. Same parts will move if inserted into new test assembly. Don’t see anything under options doc props tab. I there somewhere else to look. Thank you. Dan

Out of curiosity, if you use the ‘Move component’ icon on your assembly toolbar, will it move then?

Tried that. Move free drag won’t move either.

That is a really strange error. Where it only happens in one assembly, I’d have to say that the assembly file is corrupted in some way.
If you do a ’save-as’ and rename the assembly, will it work then? It’s a long shot, but worth trying.
One thing that your VAR will probably tell you is to upgrade to SP5.0. While I doubt it’ll have an effect, it’s worth trying too.

Do you use a 3DConnexion device? Is “Check for collision during sub-part movement” checked under 3Dcontrol properties?

Thanks guys for the help. Yeah I figured I’ve got a polluted assembly. Never know when your missing something simple, doesn’t hurt to ask.
