flexible assembly
flexible assembly
(OP)
Hi All,
I have a sub assembly which is made flexible within the top level. I have been offsetting one of the primary planes in the top level and using it as a mating plane to define the tooling height of the sub assembly. It has been working for a while now, but lately I get mate errors at the top level. It seems I can no longer mate the flexible sub to the offset primary plane. Some of the sub's details have been changed, but not related to the mating details within the top level. Any thoughts?

RE: flexible assembly
I have the sub set to flexible, mated to a top,front side to keep it in place in the tl. I can move parts of the sub that need to move by dragging. I cannot define a fixed height by mating to an offset tl plane. Curiously enough I have been doing it that way for months in this assembly.
RE: flexible assembly
If I suppress the top,front and side mates holding the sub in plce at the tl, it works. It appears the conflict is between these mates but why now
