That one's good. I will take a look this afternoon.

RE: Door Hinge Matting confusion

Remove the Limit Mate from the hinge assy. The Limit Mate should be added in the context of the top level assy.

Thank you (CorBlimeyLimey) ... problem solved

so what other mates should be added in the top level of an assembly other than the Limite Mate ... is there some sort of reference for this info.

RE: Door Hinge Matting confusion

Adding the limit mate at the top level is not a hard and fast rule. It just works for the hinge type cases.

Limit mates have always been temperamental when applied to multiple instances of flexible assys.
