Deleting Failed Assembly Relationships.

[beachcomber]

I have a large assembly where a lot of parts have been replaced, causing quite a few relationships to fail.
Does anyone have or know of a way, possibly via a macro, to delete all failed relationships?
I know there is ARelDoctor, but that just suppresses them.
I suppose I could modify that one to delete.

beach, I often repair the failed relationships rather than start again as it often saves having to think about how a part is contstrained. Doesn't always work but I'll throw it out there as because of this I probably wouldn't want to delete a bunch of failed relationships.

KENAT,

Have you reminded yourself of faq731-376 recently, or taken a look at posting policies:

I find repairing is sometimes tedious, and in this case it's going to be just as quick to re-constrain. It's a load of ventilation duct sections that were mounted on support frames. The duct lengths have changed and the support frames will not be used. What with this and the re-ordering of assemblies, the constraints failed.
I will constrain the parts differently this time so that they are less likely to fail again.
I'm working on a macro to do it, but I can't figure out how to check if a constraint is failed. I can count the constraints in the assembly so I'm confident the code is accessing the file and relationships.
I based it on the code in the .NET programmers guide for analyzing assembly relationships (P88/89)

Maybe that really clever chap Don will have an idea.

I get what you're saying, I think at earlier versions, or maybe with my then knowledge, starting again was often easier. However, I now find fixing can be better, but it sounds like this isn't the case for you.
