Wow…that is 3 days, 18 hours, 30 minutes & 48 seconds! Wonder if it was left over a holiday weekend. LOL

Fun errors in Solidworks?

How about this one? o[

Here’s a sketch relation icon I don’t believe I’ve seen before.

Even the crash reports crash…
It did go through after a minute or 2.

My all-time favorite from the old forum (RIP…):

That is awesome! I would love to be able to update error code messages on people sometimes…so that when the error comes up, they see this!! LOL

Looks like somebody wasn’t on SolidWorks in 2004 :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s a lost reference sketch relation icon.

I wish I had it somewhere, but I love when SolidWorks crashes, asks you to generate a report and send it, and the report crashes upon generation.

You’re right. I didn’t start until 2009.

I’ve seen plenty of lost sketch relations with that hot pink icon, but it usually shows the relation type (coincident, colinear, etc) instead of the question mark.

11

The pinkness is to show it is related to something you’ve selected I believe.

12

That has not been my experience. To illustrate what I mean I made a simple extrude, put a circular cut through it, made a sketch with a circle with a co-radial relation and a line with a co-linear relation, then deleted the round extruded cut. The relation icons are all still there, and still showing the icon type, but the one with the missing reference is pink (along with the sketch circle) while the icon showing the intact reference is still green. This is the typical behavior I see with broken sketch references, not the icon with the question mark instead of the relation type I posted earlier.

After looking up my colors, you are right. I treat unresolved and lost references as the same category, but it appears they are not.

Yellow/goldish is for lost refences
Pink is for unresolved relations.

Not a great “experience” so far.. o[

I just love it when the software decides to switch references from one face to another one in an Assembly. As you might imagine, the face of the flange was the original selection for the mate, not the side.

. . . and then there’s this one, in the same Assembly.
