Problem: A problem is encountered when creating a symmetry family.

Reason: Creating a symmetry family requires an equal number of positive and negative frames for a coordinate system.

Recovery: Update the coordinate system so that there are an equal number of positive and negative frames for the coordinate system.

Problem: The following error message displays in the log file:

The Object is being copied before its input <NoBlk>-5WB.101-1-PS.1-1
1. Please Check the Geometry and Inputs for this Object from Source to Target
2. Try to do Manual Copy of the Parent and Perform Find and Correlate.
Aborted due to Issue with Input Ordering.
!Skipped A-221LBH-1/Plate
!Note: Above elements have been skipped, run copy a second time

Reason: Copy by Family did not handle the ordering and wrote the message to the log file.

Recovery: Use Copy by Family multiple times to complete the copy.

-OR-

Use Copy/Paste to create a find to map for these objects.

Contact Support if this does not resolve the issue.

Problem: Smart 3D does not find an object using autoFind.

Reason: The objects are not identical, or the objects are not identical crossovers.

Recovery: Perform a manual Find using the browser to map the objects.

Problem: Objects depending on a hull do not copy using Across Models Family.

Reason: Either the source or target model has more than one hull.

Recovery: Perform a manual Find using the browser to map the hull from the source to the target model.

Problem: The Range Growth Value does not impact the selection of objects.

Reason: You have modified the Range Growth Value after clicking Create.

Recovery: Refresh the family, and then select the appropriate objects.

Problem: Smart 3D does not select objects for Modify, even though the objects have differences in attributes and geometry.

Reason: The objects are out of the workspace, or the Geom-Mod option is not available on the ribbon.

Recovery: Verify that the source and target objects are in the workspace. Use the Geom-Mod option if a change exists in the geometry of the source object.

Problem: Objects depending on leaf systems or parts do not copy.

Reason: Either the split operation that generates the leaf or the detailing step that creates the detailed part target side was performed after the molded form copy step.

Recovery: Use Copy by Family multiple times to complete the copy.

Problem: Smart 3D identifies objects for Modify, even though the source and target objects match.

Reason: Smart 3D encountered a problem in the Copy by Family logic.

Recovery: Contact Support.

Problem: Smart 3D does not select modified objects that fall within the family range, or does not pick up objects after Create Target Group Copy updates the family range growth value.

Reason: Copy by Family already processed the object as ineligible for copy because of existing relationships.

Refresh family clears all of the relationships, including manual Find. You cannot recover these relationships.

Recovery: Refresh the family to delete all relationships, and then select the appropriate objects. You need to run auto-find again using the same family to map the source and target objects
