Cannot select target assembly template in Make Components: Selection dialog

You have created a multi-body part.

Then, you go in the Manage tab, Layout and click on Make Components for creating an assembly with components from the solid bodies, but in the following Make Components: Selection dialog, the option for selecting the target assembly template is grayed out.

If you cannot select the Template for the Target assembly, it is because an assembly with the same name exists already in the location where you are saving it.

The behavior is as designed.

For instance, you want to add the components to an existing assembly, as explained in this post.

In this case, you don’t need to select a different template or BOM Structure for the Target assembly.

Instead, in case you want to replace the existing assembly, you have to click the icon for opening the Target assembly folder.

In the following Create dialog, click Yes for creating a new target assembly.

Select the assembly you want to replace.

And accept to replace it.

After that, the option for selecting the Target assembly template will be active.

Otherwise, if you just need to reactivate the option without replacing the existing assembly, you can simply change the Target assembly name in the dialog and the Template selection option will be available again.

Alternatively, you can click the icon for opening the Target assembly folder, in the following Create dialog, click Yes for creating a new target assembly and apply a new name for the Target assembly and / or select a different Target assembly location.
