Hello Budy,

Based on the error message, I'm guessing you're making a mistake with either the Copy or the Paste.

I've found it helps me to have the Part and the Product in two, separate windows.

Make sure you click on the top item in the tree when you copy the Part.

Make sure you click on the Product when you paste the Part.

I hope this helps

Another way to add parts

Another way to add Parts to Assemblies:

Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop are the easiest ways to add part instances to assemblies, but here's another way to do it:

1. Before you start, save the CATPart file
2. Open the CATProduct assembly
3. double click the name of the assembly to make sure it's active (blue background), and you're in the Assembly Design workbench
4. INSERT + EXISTING COMPONENT
5. select the assembly again
6. go to the folder and select the CATPart file to be copied
7. add Constraints to postion the part instance
8. Save the CATProduct file
