Issue:

"Participate in Assembly and Drawing sections" not being honored with iPart members in Inventor.  When opening the document settings for a member, it is grayed out.

Causes:

iPart members are created using the standard templates and leverage the document settings set inside of those templates.

Solution:

Adjust the document settings inside of the templates and regenerate the members:
  1. Open the standard.ipt template being used by the project file.
  2. Under the Tools tab select Document Settings.
  3. Check "Participate in Assembly and Drawing sections" under the modeling tab.
  4. Save the template
  5. Go to the parent iPart and generate the members again.
    • You may need to do a rebuild all to force Inventor to pick up that a change has occurred.
Note - If your templates are locked down, you can create a new project file with other templates so that you don't edit your specific templates that are used in other areas of the software.  This way you can use only these templates when generating iPart members.
