Question

Merge/Inheritance Feature - Manual Update - Yellow Triangle - Why?

I have a part with a merge/inheritance feature as the first feature, which references a different part, but this feature is set to 'Manual Update'.  Why then is there a yellow triangle in my model tree indicating that the referenced part is not in session?  Manual Update should imply that the link is broken, right?  Hence, the option to select 'Automatic Update', which would continuously search for the referenced part?  If I select 'No Dependency' will the link be broken with the referenced part for good, or can it be re-established?

Hi, 

 

The reference not in session indicator is appearing because the model that your merge/inheritance feature is referencing is not in session. You will need to retrieve model in order to update the merge/inheritance feature. 

 

You can turn off the reference not in session notification with the following config option:

nmgr_reference_out_of_session no

The No Dependency option is irreversible. It can't be reestablished.

The model that the merge/inheritance feature is referencing is set to 'manual update'.  Why is it actively looking for the referenced model then?  Wouldn't that constitute 'automatic update'?

I have changed to automatic update and attempted checkin, but checkin failed. It states on the lower-left corner of the screen that the model being referenced, 'Line 1 part # xyz invalid left side of assignment'.  Lower-right looks like below, in a non-regenerated state.
