Hello all!
Sorry for the missing greeting on my first thread.

OK here goes, when using the hardware from the toolbox you normally drag the selected piece to the hole or feature where you want it to go, right? well, has anyone been able to do that with flat head screws? I find that they will go wherever they want and I have to mate them.
 
Hi Snare1!

I'm using SolidWorks2001Plus SP5.1 and this problem does´t happen... maybe it can be an old error... what relase and Service Pack are you using?? This information is necessary to know what the cause of this problem...

I hope it can helps.

I'm running SP0.0 I'll check with tech support to see if they can shead any light on the SP issue. I did however find that if the hole was created using the hole wizard and you use smart fasteners the flat hds will orient themselves correctly.
Thanks for the reply
 
Thats 2001 plus SP0.0
