I have this assembly that Ive been working on for quite a while and I havent had any issues until today. I edited a part in the assembly that had a dimensional error (pocket was off by one inch). This part has many constraints because it is the main connecting part in the assembly. I dont believe anything I changed would have affected any of the constraints. But now when I open the model, select A2plus WB, and press the update parts button, the following series occurs shown in the screen captures below. After the dialog boxes go away, the model is exploded and I dont know how to repair it or continue working. Can you please help find a solution? Also, does uploading the assembly file give you what you need to troubleshoot? Or do I need to upload a zip with all part files too?

When editing parts, broken constraints are a common drawback in A2plus. One thing that you can try is, instead of using the yellow and green rebuild button, try using the brown and orange button next to the orange mouse button. This will rebuild only one part at a time but if it works right, it will repair the constraints.
To use:
Select the part to rebuild, then select the brown rebuild button, if it can repair the constraints, you’re home free, if it cannot repair them all, a list will open with the broken constraints and give you a chance to fix them. More instructions are in the viewer’s help.

P.S. For me to check this I would need the assembly file before the rebuild and the edited part file.

Re: Assembly loses constraints and errors in A2plus workbench
That worked great! It gave me a list of the constraints causing problems and allowed me to fix them. Thank you very much.
Ok, good to know for next time.
