Pick temporary axis fails

Pick temporary axis fails

Pick temporary axis fails

(OP)
I was trying to pick a temp axis on a cylidrical hole in a sheet metal assembly. I was able to pick the temp axis in one part, but not in another nearby. Has anyone run into this.

I have tried using selection filters and creating a reference geometry axis. In this case SW complains that the axis and a nearby one are intersecting.

RE: Pick temporary axis fails

Have not seen that before.

I assume you are trying to mate the parts?

cheers

RE: Pick temporary axis fails

What happens when you try to select the hole surfaces for a concentric mate?

What happens if you select the axes before selecting the Mate icon?

Do you have the Coincident mate selected when selecting the axes?

Sorry, using the measure tool, not mate. The part is already mated, just need to move some holes.
