I produced a scenario that can be rapidly reproduced as follows:
In my actual work, I am working with sheet metal fabrication where are have various bend profiles that are yet to be finalized and are subject to change. I am using the Insert Derive, so that I can extrude the bend profiles to their desired length while maintaining links to the original bend profiles for modification purposes. Furthermore, I piece these together in a subassembly, which after breaking the link in the final assembly I adjust to its final length. It is problematic to rebuild all the joints, since I will have dozens of these final assemblies.
Work around: In the meantime, I answered my own question on a work around. I have to build joint origins into all of my subcomponents before Insert Derive. Then use these Joint Origins exclusively when joining subcomponents to one another. Furthermore, I want to avoid Move/Align since Joints tend to give me better scalability.
I tested my work around from the initial post. Although the work around allows the joints to be maintained, extruding to objects then breaks afterwards. It is therefore not a useful work around. I am looking for help/suggestions on how to resolve this.
