SW2011 redundant vertical or horzontal restraints

Dwight Livingston Aug 22, 2011 1:40 PM

I just updated from SW2010 to SW2011. I find that a redundant vertical or horzontal restraint will cause an "over defined" error. I don't think this was the case in SW2010, but maybe it's smethign in this particular skecth. Was this channge? Is there a setting?

Thanks

Dwight

Dwight,
I haven't noticed that. But it is a constraint and with any of them
too many leads to over constrained parts. Maybe it was suppressed
in your 2010 model.

Have you checked the release notes?

Scott

I'm finding many slight differences in sketch that create over-constrained sketches. Many times I can delete a restraint or dimension, apply the same one again, and have no error. This is all with updated parts, so perhaps they didn't translate well. Nothing that slows me down too badly, so I'll just keep plugging.

  Dwight,
  
  We've had problems similar to yours since we started using SW back in the days of 98+. It looks like we can look forward to even more of them when we update to 2011 or, more likely, 2012. It always seems like the guys who write the code that checks stuff are more thorough than the guys who write the code that does stuff.
