Did you follow the procedure shown above or did you use the attachment dialog?

I followed your steps (as far as I did understand them).

You can delete Sketch003 (Sketch_TriangleProfile) from Support and just let it float for the moment. It should ultimately be attached to a base plane or a datum plane for stability.

You will see that the DAG error goes away. The Dependency Graph will look normal.

Hi GeneFC

I also don't know how I created this :roll: But could you tell me how to switch on the view for the 'Support'? If I select the same parts then I don't even see the entry 'support'.

Got it !!! :D

Although I stil don't see the 'support' property, I clicked on the 3dots at the 'map mode'. Within the next screen there was a reference to sketch003 (don't know how it came there though :oops: ). I removed this entry and then the dependency tree shows no more issues.

Glad you got it sorted out. I suspect you were working with a different version of the FCStd file than the one I downloaded. It is possible there are differences in my setup parameters compared to yours, but it does not matter now.
