Dimensions showing up in Info do not exist
Dimensions showing up in Info do not exist
(OP)
Hello.
I think I found a bug in Creo, but it could just be I'm totally clueless as to what is happening here. I have a file that had its fair share of revisions over the years. When I went to inspect the Info for each feature, I stumbled upon two part dimensions(d#'s) that do not seem to belong to anything. So I simplified the file by removing everything except for two Revolve features
All of the legitimate dimensions are all accounted for...I can highlight each dimension by clicking on it in the feature info window, and the corresponding dimension will show up in the render window with the corresponding value.
However, there are two extra dimensions called out in the info, which when clicked, only highlight the same Revolve feature's shape and the axis of revolution, but no dimension shows up. These two d#'s do not correlate to any corresponding internal Sketcher reference or part-level feature, although Creo insists they are part of the Revolve sketch.
Therefore, I am assuming this is a bug in Creo where some old information never got purged from the file, when its associated feature was deleted, or perhaps when some sketch dimensions were replaced with new ones. Attached is a jpg showing the problem.
Has anyone else seen this before?

Many thanks!

I assume you mean working with trail files? I deleted them long ago for this part, unfortunately.
No go there as well...They just don't show up when I view the annotations.
This may be one of those rare weird issues that I'll never run into again.

If they are not hidden, then try driving them using a part relation to see if anything is affected.
It is possible that it isn't a Creo flaw, but a failure of some earlier version of the software. It's one thing to correctly add and remove dimensions based on current user activities, but if this was done incorrectly previously, it's asking a lot for the software to correct a flawed database.
mjcole was suggesting using crtl-f to start the Find function, though trail files could be a source if you still had them.

...Joking of course.
3DDave > I'll try your idea of forcing a relation on the dimensions. Good point, to check if anything changes as a result.
