Error of "edges have been consumed by another feature, or suppressed"

[neshom]

I used two extrudes and one edge blend features in a model:

I am now trying to use pattern feature to copy the three of these features to somewhere else in the same model. If I use the pattern feature command and select the three of these features, it works without any error. However, if I first select the two extrudes and finish the pattern command and then edit it and add the blend feature, it shows the error:

One or more blend edges have been consumed by another feature, or suppressed.

and the result looks like these:

Even if I select the three of these features and complete the pattern successfully and then just suppress and unsuppress the pattern feature, I will see the error again.

Do you have any opinion on what is the problem and how to fix?

That's NOT an 'error' but simply a message informing you that edges used by some previous feature has been 'consumed' by more recent feature.

Thanks for your comment. But if you see my snapshot, you will find that some of the patterened blends did not work and there are some edges withour blend. So, I think it is an error based on its sign in the feature tree and also the output of the pattern.

If it were an actual update 'error' the affected features would have been suppressed and flagged with a red [highlight #CC0000][X][/highlight]. However, the yellow [highlight #FCE94F]/!\[/highlight] symbol indicates that something of 'interest' occurred and that's what's being reported to the user. Now it is possible that the final result is not what you expected but NX was able to complete the operation WITHOUT it being seen as an 'error'. What you need to do now is look at the features that you've used and the order in which they're being applied to see what it is that's giving what you feel is not the correct result. You may need to change your approach to the construction since NX has determined that while the result amy be unexpected, it's technically NOT invalid.

Thanks for your post. Basically this is what I have done and am trying to do:

1) Cut-Extrude a rectangle from a block
2) Filleted the outside edges of the cutting

3) Now I am trying to pattern them both to some other part of the block

I have done this other ways without any error or warning. However, I'd like to know what is wrong with the above approach for sake of learning.

Thanks
