I have not seen this happen directly right before my eyes at the time that the error occurs. I will be working with a part which I placed in a position a long time ago (or weeks ago or maybe sometimes less time ago) and suddenly I find that the edges are not square with other parts or that it is not really in the place it is supposed to be. It is not so easy to give you a sample file showing the problem because it only seems to happen when I do not know that it happened until weeks or months later. Also, I have sometimes imported drawings or parts from other Creo Elements / Direct Modeling Express drawings that I made. I drew all these parts in AutoCAD and then transferred them to Creo Elements / Direct Modeling Express after saving them in Inventor (as STEP or IGES files). I have occasionally (once or twice) added more parts from Inventor (again, parts which I drew previously). These were parts from a drawing that I had made. In answer to your question about imported parts: I started this drawing by importing a bunch of parts from AutoDesk Inventor.

I used to use AutoCAD and I don't remember this problem with that program (or at least it was less common, to the best of my recollection). That works but I am spending much time correcting these types of things. I will sometimes use the "mate" and/or "align" functions to make the corrections. Parts that I thought had been put in place with faces at right angles to other parts, turn out later, when I look closely, to not really be at right angles. Parts that I thought I had snapped properly into place when I later look closely are not really in the right place. But I find that I am spending quite a bit of time repeatedly fixing things that seem out of place or not quite in the right position. I am using Creo Elements / Direct Modeling Express.
