Regenerate question

When I regenerate my assembly, I get a warning at the bottom of the screen stating;

"Cannot update placement of component(M198)"

Does anyone know how to find out what component is "M198". I don't have a part named M198, so I assume it's some kind of designator.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

August

Hi, try another 2 options in the search tool as in the picture above :

1. Go to "History" tab, look by ID = 198

2. If not found, in same History tab look by Feat Number = 198

If still not there (and given you have Yellow regen sign) - try to look by Status = Frozen.

Best,

Could you attach the assembly and the parts?

The assembly is huge. I can't attach it or the part, because I'm not sure what part is M198.

I thought it might symbolize a part in my assembly, but no parts have that name.

Inside the folder assembly, have you change manually the name of the part?

Have you tried using the "search tool". Set the "look for" feild to "component" and enter your value of "M198"

Send an image of the assembly components (the tree on your left side).

Usually what I do in cases like this is open the trail file and search for "cannot update placement" Usually it gives you more information about what component is failing.

For example, the assembly I am working on right now shows this in the trail file:

!%CWComponent id 495 of model 20015508_DOORS_OPEN is family table driven and will use pre-Wildfire3 replace functionality

!%CEFailed to replace member 168111 (M495), 20015508_DOORS_OPEN.

!%CWWARNING: Cannot update placement of component (M495).

!%CWComponent id 497 of model 20015508_DOORS_OPEN is family table driven and will use pre-Wildfire3 replace functionality

!%CEFailed to replace member 168111 (M497), 20015508_DOORS_OPEN.

!%CWWARNING: Cannot update placement of component (M497).

It tells me what model is failing. In this case, another engineering groups part (not mine, my stuff is perfect...LOL), apparently did a family table to open a door and something about it is failing.

Stephen,

I tried that and I found them, but all it says is "cannot update placement of component (M19X)". It doesn't state where in the model or subassemblies that component is found.
