Edit Assembly Constraint Problem - Inv. 2012

[yfjude]

We just switched from Inventor 2011 to 2012 and are seeing the following when editing assembly constraints. When you edit the constraint the offset value shows up in red and if you hit OK without changing the value you get this error: The expression evaluates out of the expected range. If the value is changed there is no error and if you change the parameter input display setting to "Display as value" there is no error.

Is this "just the way it is" or is there a way to prevent the error from popping up?

TIA

I for one am happy there is AD representation on the forums from time to time. Between the other users and the occasional AD representative I am happy with the input I receive on issues I post here. I do, however, wish they had more staff lurking around here as this can be a faster vehicle to a problem's solution sometimes than submitting a support request.

That being said... if Autodesk were to spend money on staff in the near future, my recommendation would be to add programmers to fix all of the shortcomings with the tools we have instead of adding more. This, of course, seems to be a popular request around here these days.

Thank you Johnson for your input here. I only hope this next update is available soon because this is a huge inconvenience for us.
