Re-associate symbolic threads

Re-associate symbolic threads

Re-associate symbolic threads

(OP)
Hello everyone

One of our users has a large model which contains nearly 100 threads. However approximately 30 of these threads have lost their way and are now represented in the model tree by the dreaded white cross in a red circle instead of a nice shiney green tick.

Double clicking on any of these threads only allows you to open the feature parameters dialogue box but there is nothing to allow you to re-attach them. Is there any other way of re-attaching/associating a symbolic threadponder  I have attached a jpg of the edit update status.

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards

Life shouldn't be measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of times when it's taken away...

RE: Re-associate symbolic threads

I don't recall there ever being the capability to reattach a Thread feature.

BTW, how is it that the parent faces were removed/deleted in the first place?

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Thanks for the reply, I have asked the question regarding the faces being removed.  

Best regards

RE: Re-associate symbolic threads

I've had a play and can get it to fall over easy enough but putting it back together is proving elusive.

My only thought is if you Right Click in your part navigator you can open the "Object Dependency Browser" and find the face ID number it's looking for.
I don't know whether there is a way to pick the face you want and give it a new ID number (ie the one the thread wants to see). I suspect I'm breaking the very laws of physics there, but hey, you can wonder!!!
