Re: Weird behaviour with design table??

Paul, That must be really frustrating, but please don't give in. From what I understand, your help in the BETA program was invaluable, and I hope you'll continue to report the oddities, bugs, and regressions that you are finding. I trust that SolidWorks won't let go of SP0 until such time.

It won't help AutoDesk. From what I've seen from reading their newsgroup, Inventor 9 is one of the buggiest releases ever. So far at least 3 "hot fixes" and already a SP on the way. They changed the GUI a lot (I know that was an issue when SolidWorks did it) and broke some things that used to work. Seems these things will happen to just about any CAD company these days.

Keep the faith - at one time you said some great things about 2005. I hope we'll get to see them.

Steve -

What modeling method are you using for this one? Are you modling a formed part or using sketched bends on a flat to make this one?

What you show should (generally) be well behaved geometry and receptive to changes whether from a design table or a manual input. If you are forming the part from a flat using sketched bends, then the locating point for the fixed face of the part does float around a bit, hence the "black dot" problem.

Can you post a model or send a copy? I would be curious to see this one in person.

Regards,

Sean
