imported ASSY data from Unigraphics

Summary: BILL Hogg, Bill Hogg, introduced himself to the group as a newcomer and expressed gratitude for being accepted. Despite being experienced with other 3D CAD systems, he encountered difficulties with SolidWorks, particularly with moving sub-assemblies or parts within a main assembly. The issue seems to be that parts are fixed, even though no mates are visible in the tree, leading to an error message. He's seeking advice on how to resolve or work around this problem.

Hi All,

New to the group thank you for having me onboard

I am new to Solid works but have experience in other 3D cad systems

Having trouble in trying to move sub Assy / parts within main ASSY

issue seems to be the y are fixed but there are no mates visible in the tree?

so when you try to reposition an item you get the message the part is fixed and cannot be moved

I anyone has come across this situation and has a fix or work around I would love to hear from you
