Smart Fasteners: Verify? 2

[MikeHalloran]

I put 3/8-16 bolts in an assembly.
For some odd reason, SW picked 5/16 flatwashers and lockwashers to go with them.
I fixed that, I thought.
But now whenever I open an assembly that includes that assembly, I get a Warning message,
"Hole series has changed. Please verify that current fastener is correct."

So I open the model and look, and sure enough, it's got the right parts. How do I tell SW that "Yes, I DID VERIFY that the current fastener is correct"?

Are the smart fasteners in a sub-assembly? If they are open the sub-asm, verify and save there, then open the top level.

Yep, in a subassembly.

Okay, I looked at 'em. What I want. Rebuilt, saved, closed, etc. Next day; same message.

Is there a menu selection 'Verify' somewhere?

Okay, there is such a selection, to help you respond to a message about needing to 'verify' a fastener selection, ... but it's not called 'Verify'.

I stumbled across it: You right-click the fastener in the Feature Manager Design Tree of the subassembly, and select 'Mark up to date'.



Looking up the word 'verify' in SW Help doesn't help; the only entry leads into AssemblyXpert.

SW Help has an entry for 'Mark up to date', that refers back to the Smart Fastener error message, but the error message does not lead you to the means to fix the damn error that triggered the message.


GRRRRR.
