Possible Reasons for Greyed Out Insert Row Command
1. Exploded List Setting When a parts list is set to "Exploded" list mode, the Insert Row button on the Data tab is typically disabled.
Workaround
If you encounter this issue, you can try the following:
• Go to the List Control tab
• Change the list type from "Exploded" to "Top Level"
• Insert the desired row
• Then return to the "Exploded" list setting PL8750585
Additional Potential Causes
There are a few other scenarios where row insertion might be blocked:
• The parts list might be in a read-only state
• There could be specific assembly or draft file configuration issues
• Weldment assemblies can sometimes restrict parts list editing PL8036811
Recommended Troubleshooting Steps
1. Check the List Control tab settings
2. Verify the assembly's properties
3. Ensure you have appropriate permissions
4. If the issue persists, consider updating to the latest Solid Edge service pack
If these steps do not resolve the issue, I recommend contacting Siemens Solid Edge technical support with your specific draft file for further investigation.
