      Yes, it does. This error message may be caused by mixing the data types and is not related to what type of CAD model is imported. When a user imports the Parasolid model and toggles on , the model data will go to XOX, and the model data is called Web based. If is turned off, the model data will go to the native MAPDL database, and it’s called Smooth. If a user defeatures the model and then creates geometries inside MAPDL, there will be mixed data which can cause problems later. So, keep the model data the same type and not mixed.
