position override

position override

(OP)
I have a question on position override. I have an assembly and I am trying to move a small sub assembly that is part of another subassembly within my assembly with no luck. I select the sub assembly, MB3 position override, but when I use dynamic positioning, nothing. I searched past posts but didn't see anything that stood out. Am I missing something here? No matter what part I select, I can't get anything to override. I feel user error may be the cause here.

RE: position override

Did you position override the small sub assy in the Sub assy first?
I am suspecting (as in other functions like arrangements and reference sets) that the override only works one level up...(as it will be saved on assembly toplevel)

RE: position override

After applying a "position override" you must still go switch off the constraints that are locking the subassembly in place (see image).

Then you can apply new constraints to the subassembly in the higher level.
I've got multiple assemblies in multiple levels that interact to give you working arrangements of doors etc.

Position override con get a little intense when your assemblies get complex.
