Error Message: This view has been frozen

[78finn]

I have been getting this error message alot since moving to Pro WF 4.0:


"This view has been frozen because of illegal view instructions"


It is never pressent in any part files - only in the assembly files and only when I regen the assembly. The assembly always regens just fine, with no geom checks, missing relations or refferences etc?


Does anyone no what this error message is actually reffering to? Has it got anything to do with Simplified Reps or maybe something to do with my config set up etc. There was a post on here a while back that hinted at a hardware issue...but the people that commented on the replys said that this wasn't the case....but didn't go on to explain what the root cause of this message actually was.....


Also is this a critical error and something I should be very warey of? Or is it Pro E just being Pro E...wanting a level of acuracy that is beyond human capabilities!?


If anyone can be of any help on this one I would really appreciate it, I would hate to think that I'm sending files out that are not 100%


Cheers then

The problem is probably caused by the items that you used to define the top/bottom and left/right of the view used to be a valid orthogonal pair but are no longer.

I have also seen it when you go into insert mode at a point prior to an "SMT conv" midway in the model tree of a part. However doing a View/Orientation/Standard Orientation fixes this particular incarnation of the problem.

Thanks for the reply Dell_Boy,

We use a predefined "start" parts & assemblies in the office, which decitates our top/bottom and left/right view, std axis etc etc...

However, there are a few parts in the assembly I'm currently working on where I have used "smt conv" i.e. changed the appication from standard to sheet metal mid construction....something that I am now learning is probably not a good idea....

I think I will try both of your other suggestion, but also rework the parts that have been converted...

Will let you now how I get on.

The error doesn't sound like a biggy though....which is good....its no cicular loop - thank goodness.....

Cheers

As a general statement, I would disagree with your learning. There is no universally ideal way of making sheet metal parts. With some parts I start in sheet metal, others I convert mid-way and others still I convert right at the end purely to flatten. The choice among these methods depends entirely on the geometry being constructed and will probably be only learnt by experience.

I agree with you that there is no

If you are
converting to sheet metal mid or at the end of the model tree and have various folds,
punched or formed features, how are you working in an accurate bend allowance
in to your models
