Sketcher mode Error Message
(OP)
Pro/GURUs,
Any clue why I might receive the following error in Sketcher mode:
"References to additional 3d geometry may not be made; please select again."
This is happening while trying to redefine a sketched feature. There are no geometry checks. Pro/E help did not seem to be helpful.
I am using Pro/E 2001 Build 2002180 with MS Windows NT.
Thanks in advance.

I think you problem is that the feature you are trying to redefine has a copy or a pattern. Most probably even "alignment" is greyed out. Even if you suppress the copies you will get the same message. You would have to delete the copies.

Thanks for the tip. Indeed, that is the case. It is highly unsavory that I can not add references to a feature that has copied geometry.
Any work-arounds?
