Frame Generator lost connection to sketch

Good day.

 

I have created a frame using frame generator. I did so by creating a sketch in a (dumb) part outlining where i want the steels to go etc. I then added the steels and some bolted connections etc. i did this back in Jan.

 

Today i need to edit the frame and have reopened the model to find that the connection between my definition sketch and the 'skeleton' has been lost and the frame is displayed wrong.

 

Is there a way to reconnect the skeleton and my sketch so i don’t have to redraw the model?

Chris TH.

What version are you running?

Are you using Vault at all?

Like Chris B. suggested, seeing an image of your browser would help.  I would like to see this sketch in the browser of your assembly.  Because that is where is needs to be.

Can you locate this sketch on your local drive?

Not to address the problem, but notice your verticle corner legs are not perfectly verticle, the bottoms seem jaggy as if a sketch is at an angle, is this intentional? I do always ground my sketches now, found out the hard way they can be moved in an assembly if accidently constrain the wrong part. have never had your problem occurr, so don't know the answer, just seeing if the corner legs are supposed to be off from tru verticle or if you just didnt notice.

Looks like a screen resolution issue to me, the bottom sketch does appear to be constrained and the rest projected from it.  View is probably just not sitting right on the corner of the view cube.

I think that is either a graphics issue or an opticle illusion.

 

I wonder what happens if the sketch gets edited within the assembly does it update.

With all of this aside, I agree that the rebuild all might help you.

Hi CHRISTH,

 

I suspect the rebuild all suggestions will help, but in just in case that doesn't do it, see this link:

http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Inventor/Frame-Generator-Will-not-Update/m-p/3001680#M400589

 

In particular see  the information about the grounded status and the rebuild all.

 

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis
