A General, Why Does SW do this question

A General, Why Does SW do this question

A General, Why Does SW do this question

(OP)
Hi All-

Running SW08 SP3.0

I'm basically modeling a rectangular box (simply), and controlling the configurations based on the height, and a few other parameters. On the smaller heights, due to some of the features, I need to incorporate some cuts for clean-up purposes, so I suppress them in the configurations that I don't need them in. The problem is when I go to the taller heights (where I have those cuts suppressed), SW tells me that the those features are wrong because the points that I use as reference for the smaller heights are no longer there. WHY DO I CARE? Those references should only be there when the feature isn't suppressed. Why do I care if the references aren't there when the feature is suppressed.

I guess this is really more of a rant than anything else, but if I'm missing something, and there's a way to stop this from happening, I'd appreciate a solution! 2thumbsup

You may need to suppress the sketch as well in those configs.  You can suppress a feature without suppressing its sketch, and I believe this is the default behavior.  Suppress the sketch and the warnings should go away.

Does this only happen in SP3 EV?

If you're right (which you probably are), I owe you a beer.

Like the pirate with the steering wheel sticking out of his pants, this has been driving me nuts!

If you examine the feature tree closely you will see the error indication is for the sketch rather than the feature. This is how I know. That, and having had this problem a lot . . .
