What is the history of the "Insert" constraint for assemblies?
I'm sure there used to be a constraint called "Insert". I was using another CAD package for a while and when I came back to Pro/E (CREO) "Insert" was gone...
What's the story?
Thanks
Don't know if it happened at the same time, but here is a discussion where they changed mate & align to coincident.

At some point, a "simplification" of assembly constraints happened and INSERT got consolidated into to the ALIGN constraint.
On a good note, CENTERED was added and if you have ever used it successfully, it is awesome for conical or spherical surfaces.
Thanks for the reply! I figured it was something like that. ALIGN is gone... so you must mean COINCIDENT...
HAHA, yes coincident...
