I'm guessing this has to do with skeletal modeling. Made a lot of changes to my skeleton. I was hoping to go to my subassemblies and everything would update from there. What's happening though is that the parts won't update from the assy level. IV is making me open the parts individually and update them manually file by file (which it does fine). Is this right or am I missing something? If I click Update (tried both Local & Global) why isn't it updating everything? I even tried Rebuild All to no avail.

I've only got a few hundred parts to update like this so no biggie.

Doesn't sound right to me. I update from the assembly often. Not sure what might be going wrong though??

ah-HA! The answer always comes AFTER you post the problem.

If I manually load the skelton as it's own file along with the assembly then the parts update. Very odd since the skeleton should already be loaded in the background of the assy. Oh well, onward and upward.

I have gotten in the habit of making the skeleto the first part in the assembly. I usually have is visibility turned off, but sometimes it is nice to see, and it is a convinient spot to open it from

I do that too. I also use it to constrain parts to for items not directly derived from the skeleton.
