parent-child relationship

Hi all,
I keep getting an error box telling me that I must reorder features in
the featuremanager design tree to create a valid configuration and
parent-child relationship because I have child feature appearing
before it's parent feature. I've checked in the design tree and this
isn't the case. How do I turn this warning off?
Tool/options/feature manager/show warnings/never has no effect.
There are a lot of configurations of this part in the top level
assembly so it's taking for ever to acknowledge all the warnings every
time I switch from part to assembly and back again.
Thanks,
David

 

Is there nobody out there that can help me with this one?
Thanks,
David

 

David,

If you are running 2008, you can tell it ignore any particular error
messages. I think you can select to ignore with a checkbox in the message.
If you are running an earlier version, there is a little utility called
"Push the Freakin' Button" that does pretty much the same thing. Search for
that phrase on google and pick a site to download it from.

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for responding. I've just downloaded the 30 day trial & I'll
give it a go.

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for that. It works a treat.

What does your feature tree look like?

Can you roll back one feature at a time till the error stops?

TOP

 

It only pops up when you open the part file or when you open an
assembly that contains it. I've looked at the parent/child
relationship for the items in the feature tree that the error refers
to and they look okay! I'm at a loss really. It's making the whole job
run at about 30% efficiency at the moment.

Very Strange. The offending features are suppressed in all but one
configuration and that configuration has a different parent/child
relationship than all the others. Solidworks is quite happy with the
relationship in that configuration but in all the others it has the
parent/child relationship for the same features reversed and
consequently flags it as an error! How can that be?

Sorted. I deleted one of the features (the one without any children in
the unsuppressed configuration) and just recreated it. Consequently
the parent/child relationship in all the suppressed configurations was
removed. No error message!
