LAP TOP vs Desktop

[designmr]

Has anyone run into this situation?

Seeing a mating issue when you pull the SAME assembly FILE, from SAME FOLDER, one thru a laptop, the other thru Desktop.

We can NOT figure out why we see 2 different mating issues. Laptop assembly shows alignment is off, desktop show NO alignment issues

This has happened with a few laptops here at work.

Could it be a setting issue on Laptop vs Desktops?

We have seen problems with different computers not laptop/desktop but laptop/laptop. We have also seen it work great save the file next day open the file on the same computer and mates are messed up.

Are either of the computers loading the assembly light weight? If so switch everything to resolved and rebuild the assembly and they might agree.

You should always be doing a Ctrl-Q while your working on anything. It will help show problems such as mate errors prior to closing an assembly. After all, when you reopen the file the next day SW is rebuilding the entire tree and if there are or were any errors the day before they show up then.

However, I have seen times where this happens and the only thing I found to do to fix it was to redo the mates. If that didn't work I would fix everything in space. Now for the most part that's all I do is fix all my assemblies components in space. The main reason is it reduces load time.

Is the mate an angle mate by chance? I think there is still an existing SPR for angle mates to flip causing most of your other mates to fail.

designmr,

Does your PDM check out onto your C: drive? The copied-out read-only files may not be identical between your two computers.
