body{font-family: Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:9pt;background-color: #ffffff;color: black;}Hey all,
I run into this from time to time, and it causes much frustration. I have a datum curve, through points, with tangency condition of "Tangent to surf, Normal to edge" on the ends. Then the feature later fails due to a lost reference for one of the normal edges. Then you are stuck. You can't reroute because Pro doesn't give you the option to reroute the normal edge, only the tangent surface. You can't redefine because the pop-up definition menu won't let you redefine the tangency until the points are defined, and won't let you redefine the points either because of some inexplicable error. You are literally stuck in a conundrum. This is WF4 M190, but I've seen this for years and can't figure our why it hasn't been fixed.
Have any of you run into this and come up with a fix (other than deleting the feature and creating a new one, having to reroute all children)?
The best I've come up with is to undo changes, go back to the curve and redefine withOUT the 'normal to edge' option, then make my change and go back and redefine the curve once again to re-add the 'normal to edge'. If the non-tangency condition causes children to fail, you have to clip-suppress and resume after you re-apply the tangency. What a pain!
Thanks.
