Are you setting the blank in the seconf part to IPW and then selecting the source?
Or are you saving a facet body from the first part and manually adding it to the second part?

Are you using an automatic spun outline? Or planes at angles? Or something else?

Thanks for reply,

In this case i am saving the IPW from file #1, and adding it to my design with assembley in file#2. I am then selecting it as a model in stock, but the turning wont recognice it. I have tryed automatic, angle at plane , all of them :)

Thanks,
Jone
