I'm fairly new to CAD.
I've made a model with many dependent dimensions. When I change one and click regenerate, it says "Some features failed to regnerate. Choose OK to accept the results or Cancel to undo the changes." I then see a rather ugly partly-regenerated part. However, if I click OK and press regenerate a 2nd time, it finishes regenerating and things look fine. When I undo the change, I don't get the message, but still have to regenerate twice.
When I look at the regeneration manager after regenerating the first time, I see that one of my features upon which other features are dependent is "unregenerated" and there are therefore many failed regenerations. I'm wondering what's going on, whether this is okay, and what to do.
For bonus points: I defined an extrude depth to be a fraction of a variable I defined under "relations." Now it seems I can't go back and change the depth by editing the extrude's definition and when I try to change it in "relations" there seems to be no effect except on the depth, but other values dependent on the depth do change. How can I change the extrude's depth?
Thanks a lot.
