Tool Body has feature with later time stamp

Tool Body has feature with later time stamp

Tool Body has feature with later time stamp

(OP)
I am using NX4 and am getting an error that states the tool body has feature with later time stamp.  What does this mean and what can I do to resolve it?

Thanks in advance for the help.

RE: Tool Body has feature with later time stamp

Roll the features back (use "set current feature") before you attempt the boolean operation. You are picking a feature that was created after the body you are trying to edit... In some cases if you created some subtract or unite features later, even if you use set current feature, it will give that error. Try deleting the boolean features (Unite, Subtract) themselves. This is another reason why it is more desirable to have separate protrusion and boolean features, then to roll the "unite" into an "extrude for example.

Lurks,

Derek has the right answer, but if you're working with an extracted body then look to edit the parameters (and/or set the tick and point of creation), so that it is extracted in timestamp order. Again it is one of those things where you're liable to get previous to the History by making current feature in the Part Navigator. So the same basic problem that Derek described with a second possible solution, that only applies when you do work with extracted geometry.

That's why I took a short cut and blew away some parameters on one of the test models I gave you last week. My bad too lazy to deal with it for the sake of a quick example.

Best Regards

Hudson
