Trouble using smart fasteners

(OP)
Hi,

I am new to solidworks and am having a great deal of trouble with smart fasteners. I just can't get it to recognise a series of concentric mated holes as one and simply put the nut on the end of the set screw. Does anyone have any ideas. The whole assembly is at

RE: Trouble using smart fasteners

you have to use Hole wizard/Hole series or Smart fasteners will not recognize the holes. If you just made a bunch of cut holes in a few parts, that is not going to cut it.

Thanks - that was it - one part had a mirrored hole that was not done using the hole wizard.

All working now.
