Component array - how to properly constrain?
Component array - how to properly constrain?
(OP)
I have an assembly which contains multiple copies of the same part, equally spaced in one direction. I figured an associative Component Array would be the appropriate thing to do, so I entered the, number of copies, the direction vector, and the spacing. The resulting array is correctly positioned.
What bothers me is that apart from the first component (which I fully constrained) the array components are not constrained. I can reposition them at will. If I re-edit the array parameters, they pop back to their assigned positions, but it seems like they should not be repositionable. Is this a known, correct behavior?
