Large Cosmetic Thread Circles 1

[edreaux]

I recently have had very large circles appear in one of my components. I found this thread that delt with it but I dont see where there was a resolution.

Does anyone have any info on this problem?

-sw06 sp4.0
-nvidia quadro fx 3400/4400 (driver v7.1.8.4)
-dell xp pro02 sp2; intel xeon 3.6; 2g ram

Go to the part edit the feature and remove the cosmetic thread. OK the feature, then re edit it again and add the cosmetic thread and save the file.

That should fix the issue.

This has happened to me as well on occasion. It seems to happen more often if I directly edit the location sketch of the hole on a hole wizard feature rather than going through the full feature edit process. As Scott said, a full feature edit fixes the cosmetic threads. No resolution, just a workaround.

Yah, it can happen if you edit the Hole Wizard position sketch directly, without editing the feature through Hole Wizard. I have found that simply editing the Hole Wizard feature, without actually changing anything, fixes the problem.

This works well. Thanks for the help.

Actually that is the fix if you upgarde to the SP5.0 of SW05 or higher (SW06). There was a bug in an earlier version of SW05 and when the bug was found there was no workaround. But a later SP fixed the issue, but did not repair the file. You had to follow this procedure and then it never happened again.

Still happens to me sometimes - 2006 SP3.0

 

[Theophilus]

Yeah, me too, 2006 SP3.4--haven't checked the file since SP4.0. Thanks for the solution!

Reason trumps all. And awe trumps reason.

No Problem guys!

I have seen this happen in SW06 as well, but this solution continues to work... so I have never reported it, but on top of that its a random event. If any one of you can isolate the issue and can reproduce it turn that bug back in!
