Detailed CAD troubleshooting: Zhongwang 3D bottom-up assembly "object is empty"

In the 3D CAD/CAM integrated software, both single-file and multi-file management modes are available, and they both support top-down and bottom-up assembly approaches. Among these, Zhongwang 3D’s multi-file management mode allows all assembly files to be managed within a single Z3 document, which helps maintain data integrity during file exchanges and supports collaborative design. This feature offers great convenience for designers. Users of Zhongwang 3D can benefit from both methods by choosing either single or multi-file management based on their specific needs. Although users have the flexibility to choose the assembly mode, those unfamiliar with the software may encounter operational issues, preventing them from fully utilizing its powerful features. For instance, some users might face an “object is empty” error when using the mid-view 3D multi-file management mode for bottom-up assembly, leading them to believe the software isn’t working properly. This article will provide a detailed analysis of such issues and offer effective solutions. **Troubleshooter: Unable to Insert Part** When using 3D software in various industries, such as the air-conditioning industry, many users prefer the bottom-up assembly method. When creating a new part (PART) file, designers often skip naming it at the initial stage, instead deciding on the name after the part is completed. In this case, the software automatically names the part as "Part 00X," as shown below:  After saving, the part will still appear as "Part 00X," as seen on the right:  However, during the next assembly process, the problem arises — the part cannot be inserted into the assembly. In simple terms, the user encounters an “inserted parts, no objects” error. **Detailed Reasons: Confusion Between Object Name and File Name** Before explaining the cause of the issue, it's important to understand the difference between object name and file name. The object name refers to the name assigned when the part is first created, such as "Part 00X" as shown below:  The file name, on the other hand, is the name given when the file is saved, as shown on the right:  During the bottom-up assembly in Zhongwang 3D, users typically select the object name rather than the file name. If the file name is changed later, the surface appearance may seem different, but the actual object name remains unchanged. Since the software defaults to using the object name during assembly, this mismatch leads to the inability to insert parts. **Two Solutions to Solve the Problem** **Method One:** Ensure that the object name used in the assembly does not conflict with the object name of the part. **Method Two:** After opening the software, go to **Utility > Configuration > General**, and check the option highlighted in red to switch to single-file mode.  Once enabled, the software will operate in single-object mode. Changing either the object name or file name won't affect the assembly. However, since this mode uses a single file, generating drawings in multi-object mode (right-click - 2D drawing) is not possible. If you need to create a drawing, you must generate a new drawing file and project it accordingly. This article addresses a common challenge in bottom-up assembly. Understanding the principles and applications of Zhongwang 3D’s single and multi-file management systems helps users better control these functions and improve overall file management efficiency. The author believes that with a deeper understanding of Zhongwang 3D’s features and proper usage, users can fully experience the software’s ease of use and boost productivity. To help users master 3D design, Zhongwang 3D has launched an online communication and discussion platform where experts can answer questions and assist users in applying the software effectively in real-world work scenarios.
