Detail circles/ poof!! ----gone

[aromech]

The other day I opened a solid works drawing with (4) detail views. (3) of the views showed the detail circle in the drawing sheet (sketch), still had all the dimensions in the detail view but was missing the detail circle in the tree under the view. ALSO the detail view was no longer cropped to the size of the circle, it was the whole parent view that the initial circle was on. The only thing I did was change a bore size in the model by .001".

The only solution I had was to re-do these views.

Does any one know what may have happend here and how to fix it?

THE ONLY TIME IVE COME ACROSS THIS IS ON MULTIPLE
SHEETS AND THE BEST FIX IS TO GO TO ANOTHER SHEET
REBUILD THEN GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SHEET
ALSO THIS HAPPENS IF THE CONFIGURATION IN THE DRG
IS NOT THE SAME AS THE ONE OPEN IN A PART

I believe I remember this happening and one of the first 1 or 2 SP of SW03. It was fixed in SP3 if I remember correctly. If your using SP3. or 3.1 then I would take this to your VAR and see if they can duplicate it.

Aromech,

I had run into this problem quite a bit in SW2K1+ on a drawing that spanned 15 sheets. This was an assembly drawing that had an average of 1-2 detail views on each page. Every time a change was made, I would lose a detail view or two.

I recovered the missing views by slightly resizing the detail circle. The detail circle is the circle drawn to show the source of the detail view. This forced SW2K1+ to redraw the detailed view and everything was fine (until the next time I changed the drawing).

I have not had this problem with S2K3 SP3.1.

Thanks for the replies.
Unfortunatly I am running SP3 (it was also on a single part detail with only one sheet) and have tried resizing the circles but what I found is that the circle sketch is still there but the item in the drawing tree under that particualr view is deleted. I can re-create the problem if I go to the tree and delete the detail circle. now I need to figure out what deleted the circles in the first place.

Have you contacted your VAR on this yet and see if they can duplicate the problem with or without your files?

That's there job to support you and any problems you find. They are suppose to try and help you find a workaround if necessary.

You may not like the workaround if there is one, but be glad there is one because sometimes there are not any.
