I want to love derive

[boggsjon141]

But I can't.

I love when I update one radius on a fillet and it completely breaks the entire fixture plate the derived part is sitting on.

When updating the derived component I have to cross my fingers and hope it doesn't destroy something.

What is the correct way to use derive? Seems like if I do anything that has dependency on the derived part it breaks on an update. For example: It seems like I shouldn't extrude something using anything referenced off the derived part. If its referenced and the derived part decides to move on update it destroys that extrusion.

Hi,

This is a great post. Can you please share a design that exhibits this? I'd like to find out why this is happening, your designs would be best for that. I'll help with suggestions, but I'm also concerned it's so easy for you to get this result. So, let's take a look.

Thanks,
