Distance mate malfunction
Distance mate malfunction
(OP)
I'm seeing a problem I've never seen before w/ Distance mates...
When creating a distance mate, the default value is supposed to be the current distance between entities. This has always been true in the past, and is also so stated in the help.
In the install I am using currently, distance always defaults to 1.000 inches. Not a desirable behavior. Anyone seen this? Anyone fix this?

This was definately an issue in SP0 of SW07. Get the latest SP and this issue will go away.

I started experiencing this same problem recently (3 weeks ago) for no apparent reason.
Distance mate is defaulting to 1.00 instead of picking up the actual distance between parts. This feature was working fine up till then.
Any fix for this?
System variable need resetting?
Bug?
HELP! - it's driving me nutz
