Joined parts problems?
Joined parts problems?
(OP)
Is anyone having problems with joined parts losing their mates. I am having problems with joined parts with several holes cut in the skin of a part losing the mates with the penetrations that match up with them. I know the models were good several weeks ago, but I open them up and there are numerous mate errors? What gives?

2) If you are using face mates then try using Plane mates instead but don't offset the planes form the faces. That just a bad as using the faces themselves. Instead use the original planes (Front, Top, Right) to create new planes for mating.
3) Instead of using Joined parts save them as a part from an assembly. If you need them joined together as a single body - use the Combine function.
