error in NX siemens

[sakthi1234567890]

does anyone know how to fix the error of a yellow triangle with exclamation mark which says some sketch references are out of date. It also says select object is missing a selected object that is consumed by another feature or supressed. reselect the object by one of the following method: edit with rollback feature, unsuppress the tool or reorder the feature.

I don't know how to do any of these, nor how to fix it. I also do not know where the sketch reference its talking about is coming from, is there a easy way to find it. In all ways, I'm lost, any help is very appreciated. Thanks

Hi @sakthi1234567890 !

When the Sketch was first created, it starts by asking user to select a plane to sketch on, and optionally, and a vector to orient the X axis. If the plane or vector is modified to move to a new location, the Sketch is associative, and will move with it.

In this case, it would appear that you rolled back (to a step before the Sketch was aligned) and made a modeling change that removed the plane or axis that was referenced.

In such a case, the Sketch will remain in the location is last was, but it's no longer associative because some of it's parent entities are missing.

For example, after you Sketch, you rolled back and applied a Blend to an edge that was used to define the Sketch axis vector.

To fix this, you can use the Align Sketch command, which will re-open the original dialog used when you first created the Sketch, and it will ask you to pick a new face and vector.

HIH.

Hi Sakthi

Yellow triangle is usually a sign of a broken reference. It may happen when a part, face, edge, or sketch that your feature relies on has been deleted, renamed, moved, or suppressed.

Here's a simple explanation to bring you to fix it:

1. Feature Tree Expanded: Locate the feature showing the yellow triangle. Right-click on it and choose 'Edit Feature' – this usually indicates what is missing.

2. Use the Rollback Bar: Drag the rollback bar over the affected feature. This enables you to navigate through the history and see where things went wrong.

3. Unsuppress Elements: If an error indicates something is suppressed, check for greyed-out features or sketches within the timeline. Right-click and unsuppress them and see if it resolves the issue.

4. Use Sketch Relations Manager (or Display/Delete Relations): This may enable you to find out what references are not functioning in a sketch.

5. Look for "Missing" in Feature Dialogs: When you are editing a feature (like Extrude or Fillet) and see "Missing" where there ought to be a face or an edge, click on that field and reselect the correct geometry.

Tip- If you ever doubt what feature is the culprit, utilise 'Find References' (right-clicking on sketch or feature) to track dependencies.

It's completely normal to be confused with these initially we all reach this sort of brick wall when learning CAD. You're certainly not alone, and you're doing the right thing by seeking assistance!

I appreciate the tone of the reply above, and very helpful guidance. Would someone reading the manual have learnt this ? I know how daunting manuals can be, but they usually hold the answers to error codes, no? WHilst not as helpful in the short term, I'd've liked a reply that said "see pg X in the manual, it described why there's a yellow triangle, and probably solutions complete this the last fall back "re-open the last stable model file, and start again" (done this plenty of times)
