Mate to a hole on a tube
Mate to a hole on a tube
(OP)
I'm finding this quite strange.... I have a thin feature tube which has some cut holes in it (nothing strange just 6mm holes across the diameter).
I now want to mate a washer to the hole but I can't seem to select the hole on the tube. Solidworks says 'unable to mate selected entities' as a tooltip when I click the hole edge.
Why would this be and how is it you can mate parts to holes on tubes. I very much expect this is something very obvious but I just can't see what it is. I have been mating (in a solidworks sense) succesfully for a few days now and this one just seems odd.
