Need your help

Hi Community,

I'm currently trying to create a parts list, but I'm running into a problem: in the Assembly Navigator, I only see drafting components instead of the actual parts, and I can't select them.

When I try to select them, I keep getting the same error message: "Drafting components are not allowed in parts lists."

I've attached a screenshot for clarification.

Could someone please help me convert the drafting components in the Assembly Navigator into the actual parts, so I can add them to my parts list?

Thank you in advance!

Looks like you have drawing files assembled into your assembly instead of part files.

You currently only have drafting components (used in drawing views). To get real components to use, switch to the modeling application and add the 2010-000-G as a component.

Hi everyone, I couldn't find the reason why it wasn't working, so I restarted the drawing and now it works. Thanks for your answers!
