When validating my symmetry it gives me a message.
This function has not been implemented for models with multiple bottom sheet metal functions (some of which may be hidden)
My symmetry contains 29 components (both parts and assemblies)
It gives me this message even though the component I add in the components to be symmetrical is not a sheet metal part.
I managed to add a symmetrical component function, but this is not the first time this has happened to me.
Does anyone have an explanation?
Hello
Which software is it on?
Solidworks
On which version of SolidWorks? Prior to 2013?
Are some parts multi-body, even if they are not sheet metal?
This is the 2013 version
Indeed I do have a welded mechanic part so multi-body.
But apparently it doesn't pose a problem, since this part was already symmetrical before I wanted to add one.
Hello
If you have already mirrored a part of your assembly before, isn't there a problem with the file name that might already exist or something like that?
We use EPDM and the file names are generated by an automatic counter.
I don't think the pb is related to the name
Is it possible to identify which part(s) out of the 29 are problematic, by small step method by trying symmetry on half of the pieces and so on. It could guide the search...
Another absurd proposal, the assembly is fully solved (no more little blue pen in the Feature Manager) and the components in the local cache?
A screenshot of the Feature Manager of this assembly could also help us.
The pb does not come from an unresolved component I just did the test.
I would have to take the time to take the method in small steps.
Well now I'm a bit dry...
Method of the little ones to perhaps better understand the problem...
Do you have repetitions of components that are already symmetrical?
to which you ask for a new symmetry?
otherwise a solution to test
Register your assembly with a new name Demi xxxx
take this half xxxx and symmetry it
@+ ;-)
Hello
The message talks about "models with several basic sheet metal functions".
You must have a part with at least two functions named "Bent-Base Sheet"
This also generates an "unfolded state" function per base plate.
According to the error message, the problem comes from there.
Indeed, I am symmetrizing an assembly that contains symmetrical components.
I managed by tinkering. I would leave the method of small steps but there I am not too much time available. To be continued!
Hello
Personally I have already encountered this problem x times, the only way for me that I have found to solve it is to make a new config and combine all the other bodies before symmetrizing.
Then apply the "body-erase/delete" function. in order to erase the basic bodies of symmetry.
If you then want to add other functions such as holes or sheet metal, you have to raise the bar above the combiner function in the original part (original config). and then sober up the functions in the symmetrical config.
