the feature was created in a single body

environment and cannot be changed to produce multiple bodies.

anybody out there in swx land ever see this error message? more
importantly, what did you do about it?

is this an example of why we can't save to a previous version because we
will lose features and data? (a backwards example, but an example
nonetheless).

if bob z. unchecks the 'merge results' box, the error doesn't come up.

bob z. is altering a part that was done in an earlier version of swx. the
'author' of this model modelled it in a peculiar way, so bob z. was trying
to clean it up. there was 2 Boss-Extrude features instead of one setup as
either a mid-plane or direction 1 distance - direction 2 etc.

not a show-stopping error, it just seemed a little odd. they (swx) added
multi-bodies to the program, but if you open a part made in an earlier
version, it seems to only let you have multi-bodies if they think you can
handle it. personnally, bob z. can handle anything. bob z. has a strong
right-hand. he can HANDle it.

Ha ha...

 

Bob did you convert the part in the current session or was it converted
earlier. Maybe if you save it in the current version of SW and close and
reopen it will work better. It maybe has to do with having the database of
the part converted fully. I'm pulling this out of my know were. I opened
some parts that were created in 2001+ or earlier and had no problems but
they had been converted months ago when we switched to 2003. By the way are
you in 2004 or 2003.

oh yeah, bob z. should've put the most important piece of info in the
original post, but didn't. bob z. is still on lowly-old swx2003. ho-hum.
bob z. will still be on it until the year 2004.
arrrrrrghgghghgh.
