Imporper Assembling encountered.

[Dale_Rosema]

I have a generic part that I have an exploded view that I show as a side view so that I can "see inside the box".

Then I have an instance of that generic that I am trying to show the exploded view.

Circled in red above is:

Improper assembling encountered.

Assembly components have been successfully exploded.

Cannot animate as current explode state is unsaved.

Improper assembling encountered.

I have never had this pop up before. Typically the instances all show up as the same as the generic. I walked though the tree to see if there was any errors in assembly, but there was none that I could see (or that showed up in red as errors).

Any clues as to what may be happening.

Thanks,

Dale

Work around - created a second exploded view "Packaging_Side2" and now it works with all instances. Must be something corrupt, though, because I cannot "remove" "Packaging_side" exploded view. It just won't let me.

That entire view manager dialog drives me nuts.

I have submitted cases where "phantom" features seem to hang around. No way to pick them but definitely there with dependencies. I think you called it correctly; it is a corrupt reference somewhere which really should worry you if you plan to save the part for production.

File corruption should be taken seriously by PTC. If you can submit the file, maybe with earlier versions before the corruption, it can only help better the software.

If you want, I can certainly look at it (or truncated version) and see if the problem is resolvable.

BTW: you can disable explode animation: animate_explode_states no (config.pro)

How do you go about submitting a file to PTC for this?

Is the menu tree you are describing from ProE/Creo or from this website?

I like creating new cases directly on the PTC support site.

Thanks Antonious. (I did not submit one on this since I deleted it and recreated it without out the error.)

Actually I just re-read my answer and since I couldn't delete the one view, I make still submit.

Thanks again.
