CTRL+drag from feature tree inserts wrong part, Help?
(OP)
Hi,
I'm having some difficulty completing an assembly. It seems that when I use CTRL+drag from the feature tree to insert another instance of a part, the part that is inserted is always the first one in the assembly, not the one I clicked and dragged.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Has anyone found a way to make it go away?
BTW, I'm running SW2004, SP3 on Win2k SP4 on a P4-1.3ghz with 768mb ram, and an ELSA Synergy 2000 video card (latest drivers). I have already cleaned my temp file, etc.

No such luck with that method.

It happens when ctrl+dragging a part from the feature tree into an assembly that has a mate reference at the assembly level.

BTW: I have never seen or heard of this problem and we have many levels of mated assemblies nad subassemblies where we drag and drop parts by both methods. And believe me, some of our folks squeel like a pen full of hogs if something doesn't appear to work the way they think it should. So I am very intrigued to find out more about the problem.
SW2004 does have an annoying preference for the first component or the most recently inserted if you use insert component, but you can get around that.
