Hi all, I keep getting an error box telling me that I must reorder features in the featuremanager design tree to create a valid configuration and parent-child relationship because I have child feature appearing before it's parent feature. I've checked in the design tree and this isn't the case. How do I turn this warning off? Tool/options/feature manager/show warnings/never has no effect. There are a lot of configurations of this part in the top level assembly so it's taking for ever to acknowledge all the warnings every time I switch from part to assembly and back again. Thanks, David

David,
If you are running 2008, you can tell it ignore any particular error messages. I think you can select to ignore with a checkbox in the message. If you are running an earlier version, there is a little utility called "Push the Freakin' Button" that does pretty much the same thing. Search for that phrase on google and pick a site to download it from.

Hi Jerry, Thanks for responding. I've just downloaded the 30 day trial & I'll give it a go. Regards, David

Hi Jerry, Thanks for that. It works a treat. David

It only pops up when you open the part file or when you open an assembly that contains it. I've looked at the parent/child relationship for the items in the feature tree that the error refers to and they look okay! I'm at a loss really. It's making the whole job run at about 30% efficiency at the moment. David
Very Strange. The offending features are suppressed in all but one configuration and that configuration has a different parent/child relationship than all the others. Solidworks is quite happy with the relationship in that configuration but in all the others it has the parent/child relationship for the same features reversed and consequently flags it as an error! How can that be? David

Sorted. I deleted one of the features (the one without any children in the unsuppressed configuration) and just recreated it. Consequently the parent/child relationship in all the suppressed configurations was removed. No error message!
