    Making multiple "copies" of an assembly that have no ties to each other

    I agree. I have other constraint issues (such as driving constraints) that seam to appear out of the blue. I was in a design review meeting yesterday with a very large system i was showing off. Halfway through the review, I was unable to drive any of my constraints anymore. "cannot solve at (or...

    Adding only One constraint makes object behave as if it is Grounded

    More to the story. When this happens, I of coarse try the universal Inventor fix of closing and restarting inventor. It does not help. How ever this morning, when I opened the model, it was fine. The very last thing I did yesterday was to try and move an item with only one constraint, but I...

    Greetings all, I was wondering if anyone had a good source for purchasing unfinished bore spur gears? I need to make my own bore, and bolt pattern on a 10" P/D gear, but I am having trouble locating a supplier that offers a gear of that Ø that is not spoked, or already have a hole pattern in...
