Does anyone know how to fix it? I dont know how to get to the edit sketch coordinates.. It's giving me a lot of problems & doesnt let me put constraints.

Another problem that I'm having is that I can't use the iparts from http://www.cbliss.com/inventor/Parts/index.htm

I got exactly the parts that I need but they wont work. It says that some parts might have to be modified to work in R5 & I don't know what that means. I just started using inventor last week
I have no issues using the CBliss parts in Inventor 11. Being modified to work in R5 means that it was changed to work in Inventor 5 (most iParts on his site were made originally in Inventor 6). Personally, I've never seen that error, but if I had to guess, I'd say that you deleted something that a sketch (and accompanying constraints) was sitting on, so it does not know where to put the geometry anymore.

Perhaps more context would be good. What are you attempting to do when you get the error? What did you do when it first started showing up?
