Error when switching between model states

Hello Inventor community,

I created a part with 4 different model states. They all work and no red button on the design doctor. But for some reason I still get error message (pop up) when toggling from one state to other.

The part is a filterhousing with inlet and outlet. Each model state has different direction. I will upload the file hopefully you can help me.

Hi Yasser,

This has something to do with soft dependency between features. Take OUTLET 2 and Revolution IN2 for example. OUTLET 2 is a parent feature of Revolution IN2. As a result, the two features cannot be suppressed or unsupressed independently. To properly suppress both, you will need to untangle their dependency. The Revolution IN2 axis should not inherit from OUTLET 2. It should be driven by geometry not influenced by OUTLET 2.

Many thanks!
