SW2006 Mates
SW2006 Mates
(OP)
If this doesn't get any better, I'll be uninstalling and going back to 05 at the end of the day. I'm spending half of each day re-attaching mates. It seems like every time I get things right, save a model and reopen, the mates are all messed up.
Is anybody else having this much trouble?

I know I've seen this in 04 and 05 when we first started switching over too so maybe it won't be too bad once most of my files get saved up to 06.

RE: SW2006 Mates
I sometimes have mate problems in SW2005 as well, I believe sometimes it is due to software bugs, other times I just over constrained my assy. For instance you'd like to avoid using a coincident mate where a parallel mate would have sufficed.
The supress and unsuppress method worked for me (sometimes you have to change the order of unsuppressing a bit)
