chaps this does seem now much better. I have found though that i do need to make ALL the parts in a sub assembly 'float' or it doesnt work correctly when used in the main assembly. I am still having some trouble though, but it seems sometimes if I move the parts around suddenly the mates seem to...
Cor, can you explain which bits in the sub assembly are underdefined? As if this may cause an issue in the future it would be better I get it right now!
Cheers
Snowcrash, thanks for this, I have unfixed things one item at a time, and it seems to be changing what happens, so I can only assume it is definately something to do with the problem. I will work my way down the list and hopefully by the end ot will be sorted. Thanks ever so much for the help!
I have made items like the rod ends flexible, such that the ball will rotate in the housing (The rod ends are a separate sub assembly, and my understanding is that you need to make the flexible to allow things to move). This may of course be the issue! It could always be a setting within my...
Hi
I can try this, thats no problem, but this is just a simple example of the problem. Surly though if two cylinders ar econcentric in a sub assembly, they should always stay concentric?

I have uploaded 'P&G'. Now the two black parts 'suspension mount 1 and 2' are mounted, for example to a flat plate. When I import this assembly, make it flexible and try to mate it to the flat plate, the mounts simply 'pull off' the tube?! Any thoughts...
Hi
when you say 'Pack and Go' what exactly do you mean? I can zip it all up no problem and post it here if that is all required, or do I need to use a function/tool within solidworks?
cheers

Guys, I hope you can help, this is driving me crazy!
I have multiple assemblies for different parts, rod ends, wishbones etc etc. When I try to use assemble all these up into a 'final' assembly I can add them all fine. I make sure everythign is flexible, but when i try to add mates in the top...
