Anyone got an SPR on the spontaneous suppression bug(s) in 2004

This has come up a couple of times on the newsgroup, and was wondering if anyone got an SPR. My tech support guy says its not a known issue, which is odd to me because it happens A LOT. I don't want to kill a morning trying to get files together if its already got an SPR.

The issues are:

1)When opening a file, features are suppressed that weren't suppressed when the file was saved. My experience with it leads me to think some sketches get suppressed, then all of their kids go too. Not fun to repair the model if you haven't marked the names of features that are supposed to be suppressed!

2) When creating a drawing view, chunks of the model spontaneously suppress themsleves. 'Not necessarily me' brought this up on Oct 14, thinking it might be sheet metal related. Its not.

3) Features suppress themsleves spontaneously when creating a configuration (and, no, I'm not switching between existing ones where I might expect features to suppress)

4) Features supress when setting up a surface cut (haven't been able to work this one out, and I might have the exact cause wrong)

All of these have been witnessed by me in SP1. Please tell me that its already got an SPR, becasue I get hit by it every couple of days.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, this happened to me last night in SP2-EV.

Mike,

Make sure you report it us> > 3) Features suppress themsleves spontaneously when creating

Yep, it exist.. I spent some time trying to find something consistent about it... but nada. It's a tricky one for sure.

No cpr (clear!), ah, I mean spr was applied as far as this thread?

BTW, I did converse with the VAR (GEI, Adam Perry, Nov. 12) about this and he saw the same thing but, like him and everyone else, there was no way to get a file to consistently show this problem. Anyway, I do not know if they sent it in or not?

do you guys have the full blown version of Bluebeam installed?

If by that you mean something I bought and installed separate, then no, but I did install the "Save-as PDF" option when I installed SW2004.

I did not have the Save-as PDF add-in enabled though.

I can never duplicate what it takes to reproduce this error, which makes it very difficult to troubleshoot.

It was a simple lofted part with about four or five features, then I mirrored the solid body. I had a Scale feature in there but I forgot if I added that before or after making the configs.

When I did make my new config, every feature except the first one became suppressed.

Before starting this project, I actually uninstalled and cleaned my registry before installing SW2004 SP0, I then installed SP0 to SP2 EV.

Yep, same.

And funny,.. just turned on the "Save as PDF" addin and saved out a file (sldprt) and (btw, also have the Rhino 3DM addin on).. this error shows when the PDF is being written..

..seems like bluebeam is making a call to the Rhino 3DM import addin?? Sweet!?

.. (santa, for $100 extra can rudolf turn on his bluebeam?)

BTW, there is/was absolutely no imported data in the sldprt file.

But wait!... doing another test, on a totally different file using Save as PDF,.. and it totally hangs SW2004 sp1!!?? Sweet!?

Well,.. if you turn off the Rhino3D 3DM addin the error/hang goes away.. (makes sense)

.. (noted in consistently inconsistent SW log book)

Nope - don't even know what BlueBeam is. I did have it pointed out to me that the 'Save as PDF' add-in for SWx is active by default.

Ed this has been occuring to me ever since Beta1 of 2004, so I know its not a SP1 issue. The hard thing about this is that is so random and not reproducible. I would suggest getting a placeware or webex session going with SWX to demonstrate it to them.

I personally haven't reported it because of reason above.

Perhaps the suppression issue is linked to an addin.

We had an issue with spontaneous unsuppression of components in assemblies. It was linked to an SW addin for our PDM system.

This seems to present an interesting possibility for an API addin project.

Is anyone interested in an addin that would record the suppression state of features in a part file to a log file when a file is saved (actually, just before the save operation)?
