| • When you click Next, the system might stop responding while it tries to find the best possible solution. This is because it checks for all possible combinations for the solution. The system might also stop responding if a solution does not exist. At this point, to interrupt the check and continue working: a. While the model is regenerating, click Stop at the bottom of the window to interrupt the regeneration. A failed feature is created. b. In the Model Tree, click the failed feature and select Edit Definition. Even if you do not make any changes in the settings, this gives you the opportunity to check if the result is what you want. c. Click OK. The feature regenerates. • When the system is unable to find more than one solution, the Previous and Next options are not available. |
You can select a different solution when you redefine the Attach feature.
