Product Level Publications

Product Level Publications

Product Level Publications

(OP)
Hello,

I have created a publication within CATProduct assembly A. Assembly A has been inserted as a component of another assembly, Assembly B. When I try to create a constraint (coincidence) between published elements in Assembly A and Assembly B, the publications of Assembly B may not be selected. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

The Constraints creation option in the Options > Mechanical Design > Constraints tab is set to Use published geometry of any level.

Thank you in advance,
- mjama

I apologize, the problem should read: "When I try to create a constraint (coincidence) between published elements in Assembly A and Assembly B, the publications of Assembly A (the component assembly) may not be selected."

RE: Product Level Publications

which of the two assemblies is active? (it will be blue in the tree)

RE: Product Level Publications

(OP)
I have attempted to create the constraint with both the top-level and component-level assembly active. In both modes, CATIA does not allow me to select the component-level assembly publication as a constraint reference for any constraint type.

It may be worthwhile to note that I can create a constraint between a publication of the top-level assembly and a CATPart component without issue. I am working with V5R17 GA.

Thank you,
- mjama
