Issue with changing the diameter of a hole using inventor

dodoguardi — Sat, 17 Dec 2022 16:28:19 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I am relatively new to Autodesk products and I'm currently taking one of the inventor courses to learn more. In one module of the course I am required to change the hole diameter of a part. Unfortunately, I have encountered an issue with this step. When changing the diameter using the direct edit option I am prompted with a message stating "Dependent modeling failed. Try editing or delete feature." I have attached an image of this error message below.

How can I fix this error and change the diameter of the hole?

Here is the link to the course module for background: https://www.autodesk.com/certification/learn/course/inventor-3d-modeling-mechanical-design-professional/1Lr6A7883SIxgTHKXFnXu5

Hi, It would be easier to find the error if you attached the part file itself.

Also indicate the version of the program and installed updates.

Here's the file. I could edit it with Inventor 2023.2 without problems.

It looks like you may be using the wrong operation with direct edit to change the diameter.

Hi, in the added screenshot there is letter "D" - as a diameter changing.
The problem may be due to the lack of installed updates - for version 2021 it should be 2021.4.4

Hi Alexander! Here is the part file as well as the screengrab of the Autodesk inventor version I am using. I checked for updates but none were found. Not sure where to go from here.
