"Use"ing a "Derived" part breaks when Derived location changes

jeff_mcafferjeff_mcaffer Member Posts: 97 ✭✭✭

I get some weird behavior when changing the location of a Derived part that is Use'd in a sketch. All my Use constraints are broken. Steps to repro: (see Part Studio 1 and Part Studio 2 for an example)

  1. Define Part 1 in some Part Studio
  2. Derive Part 1 into some other Part Studio (e.g., Part Studio 2) and set the location to be some vertex
  3. Create a sketch in Part Studio 2 and Use a face of the derived Part 1
  4. Add some lines in the sketch that connect to vertices of the Use'd Part 1 and complete the sketch.
  5. Edit the Derived feature and change the Location to be the Origin (likely any other location fails too) and complete the feature edit
  6. Notice that the sketch containing the Derived Part 1 is now full of unresolved references for all the Use'd elements of Part 1.

What have I done wrong? Is there a way to update all the references? Is this a bug? Seems like a major limitation of Derive/Use if the Derive feature Location can never be changed once added.
