Updating component version breaks existing design

Not even really sure how to describe or title this one.  I have two relevant (I think) designs here.  A main one with lots of sketches, bodies, references and lengthy history to boot.  I also have another design that I used for checking sizing that contains just a few imported .STL meshes that I would frequently overlay onto my main design.

 

Now, seemingly all of a sudden, whenever I try to press the 'update out-of-date components' button to update the main design's reference to my little side design (no other components are out of date here), everything breaks.  40 warnings and 83 errors pop up on a design previously containing 0 of either one.  I can't seem to figure out why updating this reference would cause this, especially due to the fact that the reference is to a design without any actual 'substance' to it, just a few meshes and nothing that I would have actually been able to reference that somehow got broken.

 

To make matters worse, no matter what I do I am unable to ever press the 'update out-of-date components' button or let my main design do any computing or else it will break.  Even rolling back both designs together to hours, days, even weeks old versions (where I know for a certain fact that there were no issues) still causes all of the errors to appear.  This is especially puzzling since it was just working a few mere minutes ago, when I updated some other components and the whole design recalculated just fine.

 

I wish that I could provide better documentation or information about my problem but I am just at a complete lack of understanding for what may be happening.  I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this issue and am of course willing to try to answer any questions you might have.

Hey jmattingley23, welcome!

Can you post the diagnostic log? It'll be easier for us to help with that information.

Any chance you can share that design ?

Sure thing, here you go.  I've sent you a copy of the design as well.

 

The 'Sides' design's reference to the 'Panels' design is out-of-date, and updating it causes 'Sides' to break.

Of course, I've PM'd you the design now.

I downloaded the design and in that form it behaves fine, which is not unexpected.

Is it not unexpected? The version I uploaded is one that has been giving
me troubles on my end, I would have expected it to break.

Just to clarify, did you update the component references? The design I
uploaded is fine in it's current state but breaks when once you press
update; I wanted to show the before/after.

No, I cannot update the references, because when I download the design it is already all up-to-date.

Not sure what else to tell you.

 

I've not been through the timeline. What is it that you are updating in one of the linked designs that causes this behavior ?

Hi @jmattingley23,

 

Unfortunately, the shared f3z file will not show any out-of-dateness. Because it would have picked up the specific version of the referenced file, and would not know that there is a newer one out there.

Have you tried opening the main assembly from a different machine? Do you still see the issues with Get Latest on that machine?

 

Would it be possible for you to share your project with me (ahsan dot ali at autodesk dot com)? This will allow us to reproduce and debug the Get Latest issue.

 

Thx and regards
