Frame Generator- Trim-Extend Could Not Be Updated

[bmeraz]

Hi All,

I am attempting to trim some tubes using the "Trim- Extend to Face Feature" in the Autodesk Frame generator. 

Whenever I attempt to apply this edit I get the following message "Trim-Extend could be updated. review Prior end treatment and cut treatments to identify confilicts"

I am working off of someone elses model so I decided to go in to the actual piece and then delete all end treatments. Thats when I noticed a strange looking red box with an arrow. So I again tried the command and still got the same error message. Has anyone else encountered this issue before? Please let me know.

At this point I am considering just deleting the whole tube and redoing it.

Thanks!

I might be tempted to delete the offending member and add again. The standard Rebuild-All might help but not sure what exactly the other user did.

I've seen that red arrow before but cannot remember the cause. Pretty sure that replacing the member is your best bet. As to the cause, try a search on these forums, it might be in here somewhere. I'm home today, but I can look next week when I get back to the office.

Hi All,

Thank you for the replies.

I ended up deleting the member and then adding a new member. This seems to have worked.

Unfortunately the issue has now resurfaced on a different member.

I haev attempted to rebuild all and this too is having no effect (if anything it begins to generate a bunch of contraint issues).

Anyone have further insight into this?

Not sure what to say, make sure you are current on all the SP's and hotfixes for your version of Inventor.

Possibly post the files and we can look at the work flow.
