Description

  • Circular reference created in part mode is only visible as circular reference warning in assembly mode
  • Sketch feature will be referenced by an offset cross section that cuts a protrusion feature 
  • If sketch feature will be moved after the protrusion feature there is no issue when doing a forced regeneration via Model Player in part mode 
  • However assembling this part into any assembly followed by a simple regeneration there is the message:
1 circular references found. Info stored in file asm0001.crc.
  • Content Of asm0001.crc:

  1 CIRCULAR REFERENCE LOOPS FOUND
 

   LOOP #  1

   Depth of loop is 3

Feature number 10 (COSMETIC, id = 110)
  in model PRT0001 refers to:

  in model PRT0001 must follow after:

Feature number 10 (COSMETIC, id = 110)
