Hi there,
Working on a tool design drawing. Hit the update button and got an error on the right view "Intersection computation has failed for body 'VACUUM GEOMETRY' of part 'xxxxxHOFX1_-_VACUUM GEOMETRY (xxxxx001_VACUUM GEOMETRY.1)"
I have Show 3D wireframe on in the Properties to have the vacuum bleed lines in view. This is also shown in the top view with no problem there.
Tried to edit links and it says not applicable for this operation. Not sure how to correct this error.
Any thoughts?

I kind of remember a similar problem with an assembly drawing I was working on. The parts instances were skewed slightly from and assembly axis, causing the drawing views to be not true. I had to go back in to the assembly and constrain the main parts to the correct orientation.
 
This error is caused when the silhouette is to complex for the algorithm and it fails. (some times this will not make any sense to you as to why it fails). you may need to fake the line inplace temporarily by changeing your view Dress-up from Boudary to one of the other radios and copying the edge created by that render in to your original render. you can copy the line by using translate with Duplicate mode turned on. the copied edge will not disapear when you switch render types or update the view.
