Part Navigator question
Part Navigator question
(OP)
I get a little yellow triangle with an excamation point in it next to a feature in the Part Navigator every once in a while. So far they've only been next to sketches. I assumed it meant "Hey CAD guy, look at me, there's something wrong here, you should probably fix it." But wjen I go back into the sketch nothing appears to be wrong. The sketch is fully constrained. No pink or orange.
I've gone so far as to delete every constraint and recreate them in an attempt to get rid of the symbol, but I can never get rid of it. They stay there forever and so far the sketches have not given me any trouble. I suppose that's ok, but it really bugs me that they're there. Anybody know what they mean?

RE: Part Navigator question
You are right at why that triangle may appear, but many times I ignore them because the reason that it is there is because of a minor issue.

SYMPTOM/PROBLEM
---------------
What does it mean when yellow triangle with exclamation with a sketch feature
in the Part Navigation Tool (PNT)?
SOLUTION/WORKAROUND
-------------------
When hovering the icon with the cursor, there will be a clue as to what is
missing in the constraints. For example it might indicate that the horizontal
reference is missing, or that an edit might cause dimension and curves to flip.
This is caused by incorrect associated attachments of sketch to the datum
plane or datum axis. Edit the sketch and Reattach until the condition is
corrected.
RE: Part Navigator question
Did the Clear Information Alerts and they are still there.
@CEGraves
I don't get anything when I hover on the feature name or the alert. If I right-click on the feature and pick Info it says that the sketch is fully constrained.
My guess is that this is one of those weird issues I seem to have that defies logic and that no one else seems to have. I can live with it I guess because they don't seem to affect anything. I was just curious as to what they were.

Thanks to everybody for the suggestions.

RE: Part Navigator question
When you see that symbol it means WARNING it isn't necessarily an error so the model will continue to function despite the deficiency that one or more of its parameters aren't working. What that means for you is that you cannot expect that parameter to continue to function as you might otherwise expect if you change the surrounding geometry. Many times you know that you're not particularly likely to do so and for some circumstances people are reasonably happy to tolerate such warning messages. Especially on sketches once they have examined and understood that there is no real risk of downstream consequence.

They should then be displayed on the RH side of the part navigator.
