Incomplete Rebuild

Alex Vasiljevic Mar 14, 2008 8:28 PM

I use plane mates to locate a sub-assembly in a larger assembly. The locating plane orientation is controled by a sketch including a line at an angle relative to one of the principal planes, the angle parameter is controled by an equation. The locating plane is defined as normal to the line in the sketch. Sometimes the locating plane doesn't follow the angle parameter changes. I tried Ctrl-Q with no success. Does anyone else have a similar problem. Thanks.

Alex,

It could be you have some equations out of order or a "loop". To check, make a change and then Ctrl Q. If nothing happens, hit Ctrl Q again and if something happens the second time, then equation order is your problem.

  Eddie,
  
  Thanks for the reply, I tried Ctrl-Q as you suggested without success. I have attached a few images showing what is happening. As you could see, when the angle changes from 70deg to 45deg, one of the planes does not update. When I sellect "Fdit Feature" for the lagging plane, it moves.

    If the result of an equation is an input to another equation, you will need to rebuild more than once for the computation to "trickle thru".
    But I'm not saying that this is your root problem.
    SW has a few lil' quircks, here and there

      Greg,
      
      Yes this is what I tried to say, thanks for the clarification.
      
      The other thing is depending upon the number of loops, you may have to rebuild more than 2 or 3 times.
      
      So Alex,
      
      Have you tried multiple rebuilds?

      Eddie and Greg,
      
      Thanks for being involved. I have tried multiple Ctrl-Q rebuilds as suggested, with no success. The line angle is controled by a single global variable "ANGLE" (shown in the images). The other line in the sketch is perpendicular to the line that is moving depending on the angle value. This issue may sound as a superficial one but my problem is that I control the movement of two sub-assemblies mated to the moving planes and the change in global variable does not result in moving the models.

I'm having the same problem. I have to edit the plane in order for it to update. This started with the 2008 3.1 patch.
