I've got some support legs that I had made with frame generator that I need to change. They are square tube, and the shop ordered a different wall thickness, I'm trying to change my design to match. I can select the different tubes and select edit with frame generator, the window comes up and everything looks all fine. I can select the different size that I want, when I hit OK a window pops up saying "A frame member change in size will produce a replacement file on disk. The original saved frame member will be retained. Continue?" This seems all fine and dandy to me, I hit yes. then nothing happens. The little window asking me to confirm goes away, and Inventor window becomes frozen. Any clicking anywhere within the Inventor window does nothing but give an audible bong noise. The frame generator window stays up. Inventor won't do anything. It doesn't seem like inventor is locked up like it's just thinking too hard. It never tells me the program is not responding, and it can all be canceled by hitting the escape key.
In getting frustrated with it, I've even tried just deleting the frame and regenerating the whole thing. This ends with the same result. It will show the transparent frames it want's to generate and all the tools work, but once I hit OK, nothing happens and any clicking anywhere just bong's at me. I have even tried doing a brand new assembly with a new sketch (in a part, inserted in the assembly.) Again, all the frame generator tools seem to work, but it won't generate anything when you hit ok, it just freezes.
I have tried rebooting, in case something was locked up in the cache. The closest similar issue I saw here in the forums, the guy said that others in his office were having issues with frame generator, and somehow updating the driver for their 3Dconnexion space mice worked. I've given that a try, as well as double checking that I've got all available updates for Inventor.
Any ideas anyone?
