Size controls based on edges cannot be used in a Size Control File?

  I imported my geometry to use in the watertight workflow.
  I added a proximity local sizing scoped to edges on a particular part surface.
  No matter what surface I pick, I always receive the warning "Note that size controls based on edges cannot be used in a Size Control File"
  I am not sure what a size control file is or how I can fix this seeing as how I havent done anything other than import geometry and try to add a proximity refinement.

  Hello Gregory,
  you can ignore this warning as it should not have any impact on your mesh. The warning is exactly what it says: edge sizing controls cannot be used in a Size Control File, which is not your case.

  A Size Control File in Fluent Meshing is a set of instructions that guide the meshing algorithm on how to apply specific mesh sizes to certain parts of the geometry or localized regions.

  Ok thanks for the clarification! I assumed it was going to cause my edge scoping to not work as intended.
