Smart mate problem
Smart mate problem
(OP)
Hey guys,
I have a problem when trying to insert a part into an assembly via "smart mates". What I'm doing is try to insert a piece of hardware into a plate. The hardware part uses only 1 feature, revolve, and is built with a design table. What is happening is I "tile" the windows and drag the "revolve" feature to a hole in the plate asm. I will get an error that there are external restraints and do i wish to "delete, dangle or cancel".
Now the revolve is RED with ambiguios axis errors. When I try to edit the sketch it opens perpendicular to the plate?????
Any ideas???
I'm using SW09 sp3.
Also, this all works in 08 with no problems at all.

What I noticed is anything useing a "revolve" will error. If the feature is an "extrude it works".
Like I said it works in 08 but not in 09.

It does, however, appear to be a bit of a bug. Rx it and send it to your VAR.

Insert > Reference Geometry > Mate Reference
Select the Circular Edge that is between the Cylindrical and Planar faces you want mated.
If the Part is dragged into the assembly it should auto mate into the hoe or circular edge.
