Question

packaged components move back to the origin of the assembly

I have a harness assembly that has fully constrained parts (designed in the flat state, not using MFG), but i am going to spin this off to put in an assy.   So i want to go in to each componenet and delete the assy constraints.  as soon as i do that component snaps to the origin of the assy instead of being left alone in space where i deleted its original constraints.  It's been happening for years and I cant figure out why.   I will eventually fix their locations, but why is this happening?

 

Why cant you remove assy constraints leaving it packaged without it moving and flipping to default?

Check your config.pro for comp_assemble_start, I suspect you have it set to DEFAULT

Mine is set to PACKAGE

I set that config to PACKAGE but didn't see any difference when I deleted constraints from an existing component.

they still snapped to the center of the assembly Csys origin.  Thanks for the try!

Did you get an answer to this problem?  I might have a solution but didn't want to pursue explaining it unless you still need it...Barry S
