Why do Constrained parts move when using remove feature
Why do Constrained parts move when using remove feature
(OP)
Hi,
I am using CATIA V5 R20. I have a die assembly which is fully constrained. I want to create a model of the cavity. I have a seperate part (cavity volume) which overlaps the die structure and I am using the remove feature to generate the internal cavity geometry.
Working at the Cavity_Volume part level i select the remove function, and remove each individual die component from the Cavity_Volume part.
However, there is one component that when i select it for removal it moves within the assembly. It rotates out of position so that it no longer intersects the cavity part, and therfore i can't generate the geometry.
Why does this occur and how do i stop it occuring?
The part is fully constrained within the assembly
No other parts in the assembly do this when selected in the removel function.
Any help would be appreciated.
