Why is my part all of the sudden garbage?

I have been using this part for quite a while now with no problems and all
of the sudden if I try to edit any sketch all of the features below it fail!

I have posted it to the CF under the subject Cast housing half and wondered
if anyone could take a look and tell me what happened. Just go to a feature
and edit the sketch then edit a dimension (don't even change the value) then
exit the sketch and you will see everything else fail below it. I can't even
move the EOP because the part will fail when you move it back down.

HELP! C'mon Adesk I have been on your side on this version but a part just
up and failing for no reason really scares me.

Do a REBUILD ALL and your part fails on the second
extrusion.

 

Needs some serious looking at.

I just looked at an older copy of this part
and it does not fail! but the newer part has not changed at all from the
older one! This part is derived into two machined parts and they have changed a
little over time and my old copy of the original part has not seen these changes
to the derives.

 

I will post the data set for the non failing part
to the CF as well.

 

I REALLY NEED YOU TO LOOK AT THIS
AUTODESK!

I have provided you with before and after data sets
(you always ask for them) of a real world failure so PLEASE take a look. I
am scared to do any other work until I find out why this happened!

I've had that happen twice on different
parts.  Both were fairly large and complex and both required a huge amount
of rebuilding afterwards (read:  much time and money).  In both cases
a simple feature near the top of the tree suddenly failed.  All features
below which are effected by this feature where knocked out.  Since then I
run rebuild all every few features and save a backup copy after each successful
rebuild.  I haven't had a problem since then.

Has Happened to me.

 

What I did was opened it in Inventor 6, saved it,
then opened in Inventor 7.

Don't ask me why it worked. I had used it in 7
before.

I don't want to be obnoxious but TELL ME YOU ARE
WORKING ON THIS AUTODESK! PLEASE!

You could not get a better data set and data set's
are what you always want. I have a lot, a LOT of time into this project and as
others have said having a model do this is not acceptable or
affordable!

It's ok, I fixed it at 4 hours worth of
work....just what address do I send the bill to again?

 

and Autodesk Do not ask me for a data set again
please <G>
