Smart feature external reference broken
Smart feature external reference broken
(OP)
Hello,
I'm creating a smart component which is a liner bushing. I want to insert the bushing into an assembly, select my configuration and position it in the assembly. Then, I want to insert the hole for the component (insert smart component features) and it should be the right size. The problem I have is that the hole is a counter-bore with the counter bore depth being constrained to one edge of the liner (see images below) by editing the hole sketch, suppressing the Cbore depth dimension and adding a collinear external relation.
What happens is, the reference is broken to the external relation when I insert the smart features, so the counter-bore depth is incorrect. Am I doing something wrong?

I wouldn't take the lack of replies as a snub. These people are pretty good about posting when they have something useful to say. But when no one knows, you end up with silence.
