fastners removes fully defined status of assembly
fastners removes fully defined status of assembly
(OP)
before i added fastners, i had all the parts in the assembly fully defined. ie. you couldn't move any of the parts and the property manager had no "(-)" next to the parts.
after i use smart fastners to "populate all" the holes in an assembly all the parts have a "(-)" next to them to tell me i have to mate them in order to fully define them in the assembly. but i cannot acctually seem to move them and when i enter another mate it always overdefines it!
[i seem to have found a work around though - i have to add any mate to OVERDEFINE the assembly, then just delete that mate. then it fixes the "(-)" issue]
is it a bug or am i doing something wrong or ???
