BUG: Dimension flipping to the wrong side

I have a problem similar to the one chrisCFHNJ posted 0n 01-28-2022. I model steel doors and panels for a client of mine. Because per project the panels are almost the same, apart from height and width, I created a "master model" where I use parameters to influence certain dimensions. This master model has a width of 949mm (see screenshot below). When I change this dimension to a smaller value then one of the dimensions of one of the components (0.25mm) flips to the other side, resulting in a part that is too big. In this case, steel parts were lasercut with the wrong dimensions. This is an annoying bug, because now I have to check each and every dimension after each change of the main dimensions.

 

Will this bug be solved soon? The same bug that Chris posted is already more than a year ago.

Hi,

 

I am not aware of the other report you are mentioning, but am very happy to help right now.


Would it be possible to provide a link to the design you are showing in the images? You can email me at phil dot eichmiller at autodesk dot com.

 

In addition to logging this case for development to look at, I'm also happy to look for a workflow that avoids this for you. 


Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience.
