sbuchanan Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hi Guys, This has happened to me once before and now it is much more painful. I have very complex and large file that has seemed to convert every part in the file to facets, losing all the properties and interactivity options. So my question is... What would cause such a thing? I will have to spend quite a bit of time to re-draw this project. Thank you, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 One cause was scaling shaded rendered drawing views but that was fixed with Hotfix 4, I have had it again reported a couple times but haven't been able to pin down what the current cause is. Please let me know if you remember any specific steps that lead up to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hi Steve, We fixed the issue that was discovered from your corporate office. However, it seems that there may be another way of getting into the case. If you can provide any clues on how the issue is happening, we will address the issue. You are using the latest verion of IRONCAD correct? Thanks Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbuchanan Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Well I will check the version, This is fresh box I just built so maybe I missed a hotfix. Im using 10.0 PU1 - Build 8557 Is this the latest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Yes, that's the latest. So there is definitely a new cause to this bug. If anyone can find a way to reproduce this, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbuchanan Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hi guys, I tried many ways to re-create it on all of our workstations with no avail. I'm scared for it to rear its ugly head again If it does I will let you know. Tks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmccall Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I also notice faceting on large parts.. large dimensionally.. especially on the drawing.. you have to turn the render settings up really high.. or when you do detail views.. any curves look really bad..

Cary OConnor Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hi Max, That is not the issue in this case. He is talking about the entire scene changing to a facet model which is bad. We fixed a known case, but we are looking to see if there is another case (it is not easy to hit). Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snelson Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 This just happened to me also for the first time in the current build and product update. Unfortunately it happened Friday and I don't remember the exact steps. However, I made the exact same changes to 2 identical files just minutes beforehand. The only file to change to all facets was the 3rd file after the change and after i had printed to PDF. While that and a save is usually my last operation before closing, I can't say for sure in this case. It's probably not a cooincidence then that on all 3 files I wasn't able have more then 1 shaded view in the drawing without it crashing and not being able to save. (Failed to save the document. Cause:Unspecified error) It was all standard parts that we use in all our drawings, not complex or unusual in any way that I can tell. I just tried to retrace my steps and couldn't reproduce it, sorry. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
