Question

feature-intersected components not updating

Hello,

I have a quite puzzling problem with assembly level features.

I want to redefine the reference surface of a assembly-level hole with respect to a new surface which will be obtained from an assembly-level extrusion I want to insert (before that hole itself obviously).

The problem is that after I insert that extrusion, and re-open the hole menu to redifine the reference surface, the software still sees the old (out-of-date) surface as the new extrusion had never been there.

Exiting from edit-definition menu, and regenerating, the model goes up-to-date.

I already opened a support case with PTC TS, they initially told me it's a problem of model accuracy (must be absolute and the same for all models involved) --> it seemed to be working initially, but then I re-took the same model, repeated the procedure but didn't work. Re-opened the case, they passed it to R&D department and still no reply arrived to me yet.

Anyone has experienced the same thing and knows what the cause is?

Here below a video of the steps I take:

Tommaso

Hi,

did you try to Edit References of the Hole feature (not its definition) ?

Hi Martin,

thanks for your reply. I have just tried your suggestion, the correct surface is there and selectable, but a regeneration error comes after. If I then select edit definition, the new reference is with the red dot as it doesn't exist...
