Fixing a component or sub-assembly in a level 2 or higher subassembly
Fixing a component or sub-assembly in a level 2 or higher subassembly
(OP)
Hello all,
I'm making an animation of an assembly that is composed of several sub-assemblies in SW2009. In one of the sub-assemblies, I am trying to move some of its constituent parts and sub-assemblies so that I can make the animation. I have set the sub-assembly to be flexible and I can move the parts around. However, when I do this, more than one part changes location and it makes it hard to orient the assembly as I want. Ideally, I would like to be able to fix some of the parts and sub-assemblies to make it easier for me to move the rest. Unfortunately, it seems that I can only fix top level parts in an assembly. Is there any way to get around this?
Thanks
