Question

Assembly "Yellow Light" Issues

I have an assembly that will not regenerate to Green Light. No errors come up, nothing in the regeneration manager and I've made sure all of my parts regenerated to green with no issues. Now, when I regenerate from the drawiing, the model does go green, until I regenerate from the model then back to yellow. Any suggestions on where to start troubleshooting?

Its like chasing ghosts. I can only recommend finding stray relations that may have been created where the reference has been deleted. If you use mechanism, it could be in assembly constraints. I have a very complex file with all kinds of display states and once I get it stable it acts fine. But a single change can create flags all over the place.

Antonius,

Thank you for the quick response. One thing I should mention is that I created this assembly from another assembly using "Save a Copy". Now the first assembly regenerates fine and what I just realized is that when I regenerate the first assembly, then the second assembly will turn green. There must be some kind of relation between the two assemblies.

Interesting. Does either assembly use family tables? Where I am going with this is that they may have duplicate names. Is only the top level saved as a new file, or does it have new sub-components as well? Are you using any flexible models (flexible in assembly, not the flexible model extension)?

If you close everything; erase memory; and open just the new assembly file, do you still get an error?

If you rather not chase the problem and have maintenance, you could let Tech Support chase it for you. You might have uncovered a way-of-working bug that could help in the long run with this type of operation.

How complex is this assembly?
