Move/copy body command
Move/copy body command
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I inserted completely round part inside another part (it is actually SolidWorks Training Manual part from Exercise "Using Indent" Target Body and Tool Body) and now having problem positioning round part using Features -> Move/Copy body command. I imported planes with round part, but when using Mate Settings,I click on front plane of Round part and it is accepted within Entities to Mate, but when I am trying to click on face or plane of rectangular part (against which I want to position Round part) I am getting message "Please select an entity from one of the moving bodies.". That seems at least strange, how come I need both entities to be from moving part??? Does anyone have any idea or had similar problem. I am running SW2010 SP2.1.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks anyway for your reply. I am going to try this as I said tomorrow and I am going to let you know if it works.

That's not true. You can most definitely mate planes from an inserted body to existing part planes, at least in 2010.
RE: Move/copy body command
The caveat to your statement is that you have to make sure that you tell SW to import the planes with the geometry. There are a handful of check boxes at one point in the insert part process for things like axes and planes, and if they aren't checked then that feature doesn't come in.
