Assembly errors when opening file
Assembly errors when opening file
(OP)
Hi guys,
I have been battling a problem for the past week with an assembly I have made. I am running SW2006 SP0.0.
When I am done adjusting my assembly, I regenerate it, then save it, with no problems. If I go and close it, then reopen it, sometimes It takes my mates and switches the faces (ex: elbow)from one side to the other, which gives me rebuild errors. IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY! Nobody else is modifying these parts or assembly but myself. Is it in the way I modelled it?
What can I do?
Thanks,
Ron

Do you have a lot of parametrically controlled features in your parts? Sometimes, these can flip back and forth, messing up assembly constraints.

I do not see a problem with in-place mates. You should look at all the parametric geometry attached to the mates. Localizing a few of these features may solve your problem.
