Here's another one which I am sure is an easy task for most but has me frustrated....
I have added 4 gussets to my assembly of two parts. All I am trying to do is to align the gussets 90 degrees apart from each other and starting at 45 degrees on each side of the tapped hole. I have one almost positioned except it can still move along the surface. How should I tackle this?
The problem with this issue is not how to do the next 3 but how to secure the one where it needs to go and/or is there a better way than the way I was placing that gusset to be more efficient at it.
You are virtually there, Use a mate constraint from the plane you created to the plane through the center of the gusset then pattern the gusset to get 4 instances at 90 degrees.
