Edit Joint from Browser is confusing

[kencondal]

I am building an assembly and often need to edit a joint. When I right-click on the joint in the browser and select Edit Joint, the Joint Dialog box comes up but it doesn't reflect the parameters I set in the original joint.

For example, I'm trying to edit a Revolute joint, but the edit dialog shows a Planar joint. Huh??? What I would expect to happen is for the dialog to come up with the exact parameters I set when I created the joint so that I could actually edit them. Ideally, the dialog would be filled exactly as it was before I clicked OK.

Is this a bug, a feature or am I doing something wrong?

Hi @kencondal,

That sure is strange behaviour! I just tried it on a couple of assemblies I have created and I cannot seem to replicate it. Do you ming sharing your design with me using a public link, and making it downloadable? You can also add me to the project if you'd like and I'm happy to take a look at your model.

To share a public link, right click on the design in the data panel and choose share public link.

Hi Sachlene,

How do I add you to the project? Do I need your email?

Thanks,

Ken

Yes, you will need my email.

It's sachlene.singh@autodesk.com.

Hi Sachlene,

I've added you to the project. If you open 'Clock Assembly' you'll see lots of joints. The ones at the top level seem to work, but if you edit a revolute joint in the Center Wheel component it comes up as planar.

Thanks,

Ken

I see what you mean. I can replicate that behavior and when I edit the joint it shows as rigid.

I will report this to the QA team and get back to you about what might be going on. This is certainly unexpected behavior.

Hi Ken,

Sachlene brought this issue to my attention.  Thank you for sending this our way.  I have gone ahead and logged a bug for this issue, and I will work with our team to get this issue resolved.  Once it has been fixed I will try and update this forum thread.

I confront the same problem too.

When ever I click 'edit joint', the dialog show nothing, just like I'm creating a new joint.

This happens to every joint in every project.
