Wow....that is 3 days, 18 hours, 30 minutes & 48 seconds! Wonder if it was left over a holiday weekend. LOL

Here's a sketch relation icon I don't believe I've seen before.

Even the crash reports crash...

It did go through after a minute or 2.

That is awesome! I would love to be able to update error code messages on people sometimes......so that when the error comes up, they see this!! LOL

Looks like somebody wasn't on SolidWorks in 2004

That's a lost reference sketch relation icon.

I wish I had it somewhere, but I love when SolidWorks crashes, asks you to generate a report and send it, and the report crashes upon generation.

You're right. I didn't start until 2009.

I've seen plenty of lost sketch relations with that hot pink icon, but it usually shows the relation type (coincident, colinear, etc) instead of the question mark.

The pinkness is to show it is related to something you've selected I believe.

That has not been my experience. To illustrate what I mean I made a simple extrude, put a circular cut through it, made a sketch with a circle with a co-radial relation and a line with a co-linear relation, then deleted the round extruded cut. The relation icons are all still there, and still showing the icon type, but the one with the missing reference is pink (along with the sketch circle) while the icon showing the intact reference is still green. This is the typical behavior I see with broken sketch references, not the icon with the question mark instead of the relation type I posted earlier.

After looking up my colors, you are right. I treat unresolved and lost references as the same category, but it appears they are not.

Yellow/goldish is for lost refences
Pink is for unresolved relations.

I see this one often enough to think that they do not want to know..!?

Not a great "experience" so far..

[Glenn Schroeder]

I just love it when the software decides to switch references from one face to another one in an Assembly. As you might imagine, the face of the flange was the original selection for the mate, not the side.

[Glenn Schroeder]

. . . and then there's this one, in the same Assembly.

That's a beautiful BOM, reminds me of ours that we use to send info to the ERP

These type of things can happen. See this

I cannot recall what caused this error. It was a little while ago. Perhaps 2016 Vers.
But it is indicative of missing or corrupt coding..! Yes..?

[Damo]

So.. Am I the only one who gets this frustrated..?!?!
I had a session just recently where Solidworks (2021.SP2) crashed a few times in a row while I was trying to save an assembly.

And so I was going to send it too. But..

Ok, I'll admit, I had to chuckle a little at that..

Just had one of those myself. It actually opened this time in under 2 min.

[mattpeneguy]

What does this mean?

[zxys001]

So, what am I,... a Chamfer or a Fillet?
..and after that failure,.. the Chamfer Arrow for the Loop would not go away.

The old favorite "Unspecified Error" has roots that run deep.

Not sure if this one's been posted yet:

The FooOK ing command

Foo shows up rather frequently in the programming world, not a surprise if surfaced in a message dialog.
