Make Cable and Harness compatible with Model States

Make Cable and Harness compatible with Model States

I have a bracket that supports several sizes of power supply. I modelled the bracket using the primary power supply and used Cable and Harness to define the cable routing.

 

I’d like to use model states to show the bracket with the alternative power supplies. However, because the design includes Cable and Harness, I’m unable to create new model states. When I attempt to create a new model state, or duplicate the primary one, I receive the error: “Adaptive component incorrectly being driven by more than one parent,” and the model state cannot be created.

 

Cable and Harness and Model States have both been part of Inventor for several years now, so it would be extremely helpful if they were compatible. This workflow would benefit greatly from the ability to use both features together.

MODEL STATES DOES NOT WORK WITH CABLE & HARNESS OR TUBE AND PIPE. IT IS AN UNTENABLE SITUATION. 

MAKE IT BETTER OR LOSE USERS. MODEL STATES IS BROKEN, & WE BOUGHT IT ON BROKEN PROMISES.

I don't need cable and harness to adapt to each model state dynamically. I would be happy if the harness was specific to a particular model state as long as I could actually create multiple model states to show the mounting options of different power supplies.

IT JUST NEED TO WORK. & IT DOESN'T.
