relations in assembly mode

[2ms1]

I am attempting to apply the following relations to the assembly seen below. Could someone explain what the two error messages mean?

/*--------------------------------------------
/*-------------------------------------------
/* joint width
jointW=43
springSize="small"
/*-------------------------------------------
/*--------------------------------------------

IF springSize=="small"
springWidth=18
Else
springWidth=38
ENDIF


endExtrude=jointW/2-springWidth/2
innerExtrudeS=springWidth/2
innerExtrudeL=endExtrude+springWidth/2
d0:4=endExtrude

errorCannot assign to a part-driven value.
d0:6=endExtrude
d5:6=innerExtrudeS
d4:4=innerExtrudeL

errorCannot assign to a part-driven value.

I updated the zip file posted to include all the parts that assembly uses (i forgot to do that before).

What's a part-driven value? If I atleast knew what that was then Id be in much better position for figuring out how to get rid of the damn error

"a Driven value" = already has a formula attached to it or something generating the value for it. Just go through ur model's and make sure ur not trying to change the same value more than once.

Ahh. Yes the problem was that I had relations being specified within the individual parts (ie relations were specified within the files for individual parts). Thus, it was invalid to apply relations that overlapped in the assembly file. Solution was to apply all the relations in the assembly file
