Hi, All
Before i start i'll just let you know i'm still using V18
We have to produce alot of 3D assemblies within the industry i work but when speaking to some of my colleagues it seems we are all coming across a similar problem.
Although all starts well, at some point during the assemblies life, it seems to lose the ability to "vary constraints". It also seems to lose the ability to solve certain mating conditions. For example, if i am mating a component to two objects (like a link that requires to be aligned to two diameters) and one of the components i am mating to has complete freedom, it can't figure that out and won't move the 2nd component in order to allow the mating condition to be sucessful.
Any ideas VERY much appreciated as this is driving us all round the bend.
