Possible to Overwrite Sketcher-Level Relations with Part-Level Relations?
Possible to Overwrite Sketcher-Level Relations with Part-Level Relations?
(OP)
Hi.
I was curious if it is possible to overwrite Sketcher-level relations with Part-level relations? After all, every Sketcher level dimension (sd#) has its part-level counterpart (d#). At any rate, I tried it and the feature info says that at the part level, the d# dimensions HAVE changed, when down in the Sketcher list of dimensions, the sd$'s did NOT change. So when I regen, the part is still the same as it was originally, even though the part-level dimensions say differently.
The reason I am asking, is that I have parts that I would like to modify quickly w/o having to go into each Sketcher level relation individually. If I could just tell Creo to accept my d#'s as replacements, and to go into each Sketcher relation at regen time and replace the corresponding sd#'s with the new values, that would be uber great.

You should be able to change any dimension that is not driven by a relation. There should be a warning given when you try to change a dimension that is driven by a relation and the software should not make the change. I haven't thought to try to drive one value with two different relations, so I am not sure what error message is produced, though if you are using the commercial version, you should be able to look at the message log to see if one is issued.

Maybe in a future version of Creo. :)
