Adaptivity broke in Inventor 8?

[Anonymous]

Anyone haveing problems with adaptive holes projected into another part causing Inventor to crash! This program is so frustrating!

I use R8, no problems with adaptivity that I
found.

I just got done projecting holes into another part for adaptivity and when I return back to the top level it crashes everytime.

Can you post your file?

I can't because it's proprietary. I've never had these kind of problems with Inventor. This is a very simple adaptive hole.

Can you recreate the problem in another model which
you can send out?

I found out what's causing the crashing. I generated a sketch into a part and projected holes from the other part onto the sketch. I used the projected sketch to generate a hole feature on the part (no "point, hole center", the points from the projected part). For some reason when I changed the other part the holes would not adaptivly follow it, thus causing a crash. So what I did was go into the part with the projected holes and replace them with "point, hole center" and set the holes to adaptive. Then I generated a mate constraint at the assembly level and now the holes follow the part without crashing Inventor. This is a bug in every since of the word, Way to go Autodesk!
