Rebuild symbol won't go away
Rebuild symbol won't go away
(OP)
Is anybody having a rebuild symbol in the feature tree that just refuses to go away. I have a rebuild symbol on the top-level and one on a sub-assembly below, I expand the sub-assy and have a rebuild on a part file. Opened the part file did a rebuild and a Ctrl+Q, It keeps the symbol needing a rebuild. This has happened on 4 different workstations all on different Assy's. It doesn't seem to do any harm it is just annoying. It helps when you have a clean Feature Tree before you save. One of the systems is running sp 2 and the three others are running 1.1. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

RE: Rebuild symbol won't go away
It sounds like you might have a loop somewhere.
What I mean by loop is that Part A requires Part B to be updated, Part B requires Part C to be updated but Part C requires Part A to be updated. Therefore on the first rebuild, all parts are updated and changed. Because Part A is driven by Part C, you will get the rebuild needed shown in the feature tree since Part C was updated during the first rebuild.
The way to fix this problem is to find out where you have external references that is looping and delete them.
Hopefully this is clear.

Although I have seen this rebuild light appear on parts without in-contexted relationships. You will have to roll the part back until you find the feature causing the problem. repair the feature or sketch... hopefully it will not require you to remove it and remake it. The other thing you could try is to move it about the FM tree, maybe it's in the wrong spot and is causing the rebuild light?
