Cross Part Assoiciation has failed

[Anonymous]

I don't use adaptivity that often so forgive me if this is elementary.

I was designing merrily away using adaptivity when I got a " cross part
association blah blah". I thought I must have destroyed one of my adaptive
sketch references some where along the line. I went to the browser to
search for errors and there were none visible. I checked all the references
under all the adaptive sketches, but there were no errors - until I edit the
sketch that happens to have the error, then the error shows up in the
browser ?!? I haven't used adaptivity that much since R5, but I seem to
remember the errors showing in the browser under "Modeling View".(If not it
would be nice)

Cory,



Cross part association is far from elementary.



I, like you have found it to be very ackward and confusing. I am sure that my lack of understanding is due to just that.



Consequently, I do not use it. Every once in a while I "play" with it in hopes of broadining my understanding.



I believe there are some tutorials that Sean has put together that you might try.

In the meantime you might just to want to turn it off.



Tools>Application Options>Assembly, and un-check the "Enable Associative Edge/Loop/Geometry Projection During in Place Modeling".



If you want CPA then hold down "Ctrl" when creating new geometry.



Regards,



Don A 🙂

I have mine set up the same way as you. <g>
Problem is, the cross-part relation was intentional...

I should add that I expected it to break where it
broke.  IV gave me the warning box when the model updated, but the error
didn't show up under the broken sketch until I edited the sketch.
