OK, This is a new one for me.
I created a new little model this morning. (about 60 features) This is a
fairly simple injection molded part complete with jump parting lines, full
draft and rounds.
Now, this afternoon, I'm trying to modify the sketch for Extrude (feature
13). How I want to modify the sketch will requires that I select an
additional reference axis to properly capture my design intent. so...
while in the sketch I select Sketch, References, and I get a warning that
says...
"The section has several dependent features. Adding or Deleting references
is not allowed." (attached is a picture)
What! I'm not allowed to modify a sketch because there are child
features???? Isn't that what the "re-route" function is for? Anyway...
Here's the specs: WF4, M160, I have Foundation, AAX, and ISDX licenses. I
have checked the "reference control" settings... and everything is set to
"all".
I'm quite sure that I have never seen this message before, and at this point
I am totally stumped as to what may have changed on my system to cause this
warning to pop up.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Bernie
