Tube&Pipe 093: “TP LOD Replace Fitting Error”

[salariua]

If you work with suppressed parts (LOD) and you try to change size on fitting connected to one of those models you get a “Replace Fitting Error” without giving a clue on why this happens. Can we improve message in this case and tell the user the matching models need to be unsuppressed first. Furthermore you should ask “do you want to unsuppressed the model” Yes, No, Cancel. On yes Inventor turns the matching part on, finishes the “Change Size” ”Change Diameter” or “Place fitting” command and then turns the part back off not to affect any LOD or Design View Reps. A lot of new users are clueless on why this occurs and how to bypass it. Furthermore if you try to replace the fitting by dropping one on top it doesn’t compute, no errors, no messages, nothing.
