family table problem

[engrjhnsn]

I am a complete newb and trying to accomplish some basics. I made a basic bearing and used a family table to replicate for different sizes. The error I get when I regenerate is "Some relations are no longer satisfied in FK_COMH_BALL for D1". I try the things mentioned in this post

but still get the error and it just moves to a different dimension. Any thoughts? I have attached the files. Also which is better to use family tables or pro/program?


Thanks in advance!

Not sure how or if it can be corrected since I haven't used assembly relations enough to know but it appears two values are being assigned to the parameters. One at the assembly level then one at the part level. Things work okay opening the generic. Looking at the parameter W_WIDTH, when you open an instance it appears the assembly relations are applied but theassembly parameter valuesseem to only temporarilyoverwrite the part parameter values. If you open up an instance take a look at the parameter values in the assembly and thenin the part.

thanks i will take a look at it again. the way i modeled and assembled is the only way i could get the parameters to update and work. the assembly relations was the only way i could get this to work. again i am new so if someone can point out another way that is better might be the solution. for now i will keep trying other things.

I have seen this error when you set a value with a relation, then set it to something else with a different relation. You may be setting a value in the assembly relations that is set in the part relations (or feature or sketch).

I found a solution for you to try. I tried it on a simple part and I think itmay work for your assembly. Setup flexibilty for the race and the ball at the part level. In the assembly make the parts flexible by selecting the parts and RMB>Make Flexible. I didn't try the relations yet to see how they would need to be modified or if you would need them. If you can't get it to work let me know and I can try and modify your files.

I updated the part files and the relations. When you initially open an instance you will get a warning thatsome relationsare no londer satisfied. Regenerate the instance and you should no longer get those messages.

Thanks kdem. I have been meaning to reply but my internet has been down for over a week now. I got the files and at first I had an issue but I think it was instances in memory messing with me. I was in the process of trying what you suggested with make flexible but I never used that feature so I didnt get it to work. I was thinking like prstock suggested was the approach but still didnt get it to work with deleting the part relations. Now after looking at your fix I was able to duplicate it once I found that the part id changes after you make it flexible. Thanks for your help.
