What version are you using?
If you can share your file we can review it.
This usually can be traced to ambiguous sketch constraints.

Thank you for the zip file. Which one contains the assembly?
I do not want to open every one to find out.

The file Model is empty--no parts, no links, no sketch.

Yeah, me neither. Somehow the links are broken in your .zip file.
Try uploading the clamp file again but without zipping. It should be small enough.

It is still a problem but I do not know why. You should Preview your post thoroughly before Submitting.

Perhaps someone else can help with how to upload the Assembly4 files.
(This why I like all my parts in one file.)

BTW very nice models.

Hi, I think that your FreeCAD executable is old enough that it still has the bug with relative vs absolute link file names when saving files. You should upgrade to version that is newer than ~ 0.19.19000. Then you'll need to open your file, and re-save it with the newer version, after which it should work with other people's computers, too.

EDIT: FreeCAD >= 0.19.18714 is the first version reported to work correctly, here is the relevant thread: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=40403. Anyway, you should upgrade.
