I have a multi-body iPart factory that I'm using as a workshop for designing many sheet metal parts. As I switch to a different member, some of my work features are formulated to change positions. One of my sheet metal faces is set to reside on one such work plane, as seen here (with the work place highlighted):
When I switch to a different member, the positioning of the work plane changes appropriately, but the sheet metal face does not:
This of course creates a cascade of other errors with other features dependent on the face in question. I can correct all these issues by simply redefining the sketch back onto the work plane, but I have to do this manually each time I change members. The upshot of this is that I cannot generate all of the iPart member files with a single click: I instead have to generate, switch to another member from the table, redefine the sketch, generate, and so on. This becomes very tedious when I have 20 different members to generate.
Adding to my consternation is the fact that I have another (very similar) iPart factory that does not have this issue: every time I switch members, the work plane and the sketch move in tandem. Does anybody have any insight as to why this particular sketch does not remain on the work plane as it moves? Why does it need to be redefined every time?
