Component Error

[Anonymous]

I just edited a component and added a few different extrusions to it, but now I get an error message "Can't regenerate Family.  Edit Family to modify it."  

I deleted the other extrusions I added, and it still wouldn't work- I cannot copy and paste it into another family either- I cannot find any reason that it won't work.. It is just simple extrusions...

Can you post the file?

Are the extrusions locked to reference planes that are constrained by dimensions?  Thowing in random extrusions into a family causes random issues when loaded into a project.

...or maybe the extrusion is driven by a parameter parameter or ref. plane that is causing it to zero out, or causing a line in the sketch to become too short (less than 1/32").

I know that this is an old topic but I wanted to add a potential fix for anyone looking for a solution later - I just encountered this issue and solved it for myself. It was a Design Options issue for me... I was trying to make a model-in-place component that used a model element from a different design option as a workplane. So I just had to dissacociate the extrusions or whatever from the model-in-place component from their workplane and I stopped getting the warning.

Just to offer some support for this solution, disassociating the geometry from the workplane worked for me as well. Thanks @zacharyRGVFB !
