Drawing updates aren't working for skeletons and copy geom

Drawing updates aren't working for skeletons and copy geom

Drawing updates aren't working for skeletons and copy geom

(OP)
I am using true Pro/E skeletons that contain copy geometry features.  The models that generated the copy geoemtry - which are also true Pro/E skeletons - are in session.

I am also using these skeletons (containing the copy geom)in 'skeleton' sub-assemblies.

The 'skeleton' sub-assemblies are used in a top-level 'skeleton' assembly.

I can see my changes in the  top-level assembly, but not in the drawing.

Normally you can force the drawing to updave using:
view/update/current sheet
or
regen draft

I have found that the folling works, but don't understnad why;
edit/regenerate/model/automatic.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Dave

Activate Show Skeleton in your views (in 2001 is under VIEWS->Disp Mode->Viwe Disp->Show Skeleton.

By default, the skeleton are not shown in your views.

Hi Hora

I did this already, that's how I knew they weren't behaving properly!  They look like one thing in the top-level assembly, and something else in the drawing containing the top-level assembly.

To add to the confusuion, in the drawing, even the same assembly looks different - work that out!!!

I am using mechanism too, and I wonder whether the mechanism constraints have an effect.

Happy problem solving.

Dave

RE: Drawing updates aren't working for skeletons and copy geom

The sub assemblies and their respective drawings will not update until you regenerate the subassembly.  The copy geometry is just that - a copy, not the same thing as the actual upper level geometry so it won't update to show the change until you regen the model.
