Question
Failed assy connection
WF3, M170
I have 2 components that assemble via a pivot pin. I can assemble them together using an align on the pivot axes and mating the RIGHT planes. Assembles fine, with or without an orient constraint.
However, when I try to convert to connections so I can apply limits to the pivot, it fails to connect using the same references. I cannot figure out why.
If I use the assy constraints and uncheck the 'allow assumptions' box, even though it generates no errors, it still will not move if I attempt to drag it. During the assy I can hold ALT-Ctrl and drag it just fine, but not once it's assembled.
Any idea how I can figure out what's wrong here?
