I have a multibody part which I use in an assembly.
I then projected geometry from another part to use in the multibody part.
Every time I move the part called roller the projected geometry is lost even though the roller hasnt changed at all.
This happens all the time.
See images below and I have attached the Inventor files
Hi Anthony,
Many thanks for sharing the file! I still cannot explain why the geometry association would fail. The only thing I could speculate is that the tangent constraint may play a role here. Maybe it flips the cylinder upside-down. Or, the two components are no longer parallel at a moment. Something causes the source geometry to fail to project.
Thanks again!
Hi Anthony,
The files you provided show that the reference is already lost. Though the geometry is there, the way it projects could be different. The resultant projected geometry may not be valid. Do you have a workflow showing it works and then it fails consistently?
As Robertas alluded, you may want to use Copy Object to copy the body geometry. Then project the copied geometry.
I personally would try replacing Tangent constraint with an equivalent Mate constraint. Tangent may reduced DOF. Also, it may be tangent to the extended face (out in the air) which is not what you want.
If you want to report a defect, please feel free to contact Autodesk Product Support. This forum is more for tips and tricks and education purpose. It is not a replacement for official support.
