To check, do the following,

1. Open the assembly in Inventor.
2. On the Launch panel, click Projects.
3. In the lower half of the dialog box, check the entry at Type. It should be single user. If it shows Vault, then that is the problem.
4. To resolve, create a new project file uisng Single User. Refer to this video.

Thanks for replying! But i didn'nt work. I found the properties and it said single user. After opening the file it still said the same pop up. I looked into the file properties and its not a read only file. Any more suggestions would help me.

Thank you,
Kimo Josh

One of your settings/ file paths is messed up. I would check all of your settings under the inventor symbol and then "options" as well as check your project, I know you already did, but that sounds like a an problem that comes from an unchecked "Project file" option. Also how far apart are your "andy mark" parts from your assemblies? depending on the path its taking/ where its saving etc weird things can happen especially since andy mark parts are downloaded as .step, and not in a native format.
