What`s up with Alibre today?

[DReece]

I can't get Alibre to extrude cut no matter what I do. It either gives me a inconsitant face body relationship error or another error, something about causing something to be deleted. It's also been very slow today.

If it talks about things being deleted, save and close the item then reopen it. There is a table somewhere that's not updating properly.

I tried that, but it didn't work.

Can you upload the part here, or try a new part and try to extrude cut?

I tried, but it says the uploaded file is too large.

I got it figured out. I had to suppress some features first.

Super weird that you had to suppress features to get an extrude downstream to work. But hey, parametric CAD can indeed be weird sometimes

... or another error, something about causing something to be deleted.

Was the error "attempt to delete record marked as deleted"? If so that's a very old bug. And usually the solution is to simply close the file and reopen it. Sometimes though - as in your case - it just doesn't work. It's annoying.
