I'm really new to the 3D world and have been recreating a layout of all our engineering labs on campus. I'm experiencing errors every time I attempt to constrain and now even when trying to drag and unconstrained part or assembly.
The error I get stats "errors occurred during update" and then under that three duplicate messages "Adaptive component incorrectly being driven by more than one parent. One parent must be identified."
Where do I from here to fix this? What should I be looking for?
Hi! Assembly constraints are solved bi-directionally. It depends on how the relationship is set up. There should be a logical reason to explain the behavior. Without seeing the files, it is impossible to tell. Please share the files (zipped) here. I would like to understand the behavior better.
Many thanks!
@johnsonshiue You are the most helpful contributor on this platform but no one should need to be an Autodesk programmer in order to understand an error message. I really wish that Autodesk would revisit all error messages for Inventor and make them understandable. I'm getting the same error as the original poster and inventor doesn't even identify the component that it has issue with. I have a large complex design with many tiers of parts, assemblies and wire harnesses.
It is not possible for drafters to post their design each time there is an error. They are large, complex and proprietary.
i.e. It should be possible to diagnose the issue from the error message.
This button should help:
It itemises each error and attempts to step you through fixing them.
Those error messages are quite specific - there's certainly no ambiguity about what is wrong, but I agree that they could tell you which component(s) are causing the problems.
Hi! Indeed, the error messaging has room for improvement. Sometimes we also get confused by the errors ourselves. The issue here is that Inventor workflows could be convoluted, to come up with contextual relevant messaging could be very difficult.
Please feel free to send me the files (in zip) directly johnson.shiue@autodesk.com. I am more than happy to take a look and see why the adaptive errors come up. It could be a bug.
Many thanks!
