Question
EXT : Intermittent Relations Failure
Yeah, I figured it was an order of operations thing, I just can't figure
out how to change the order of what to get it to work. And, yes, I get
that message and the traffic light is yellow (in assy mode, in drawing
mode there's no traffic light although the drawing views are a mess).
Someone suggested making sure the relation driven dims and prams are in
the family table. I tried that (and tried removing them all) and it
made no difference.
I'm having trouble sorting out what happens first. I get that initial
relations are processed first, then the part is regenerated then the
post-regen relations are processed. Where, then, are family table
values read? It has to be before regen, obviously, but is it before or
after the initial relations? It would seem that it would be before so
that the relations would be processed properly, however, that should
mean that all values would be set properly before each instance is
regenerated, which is not what I'm seeing.
It's almost as if the instance is being processed with the values of
another instance, or perhaps the generic, rather than the family table
value.
