Please help!!
I have an assembly containing two instances of the same sub-assembly. (The sub-assembly is a cylinder with a 42 inch stroke). The drive contraints needed are the same for both cylinders.
After successfully constraining the first "instance" of the cylider in the main assembly and setting the drive constraints for the cylinder, both cylinders are actuated at the same time with the same stroke. (Which is great-the drive constraints work like intended). However, after constraining the second instance of the cylinder in the main assembly, the drive constraint for the first cylinder are no longer solved, and are not solved for the second cylinder either.
Anyone have any idea how to accomplish this or know of any pit falls I should look for?
If you have 2 copies of the same sub in the assy
then you can only drive one of them. The same sub cannot act in
different manners in the same project. You will need to make a copy of the
sub and place it as a separate occurrence in the main assy.

I am using to copies of the same sub-assembly, but I want them to act in the same manner, just offset from ach other (mirroed if you will). I noticed that as one copy is driven, the other moves with the same (percieved) drive constraints. Is this a glitch, or can they really act in the same mannor? (Or have I really missed the point)?!
Since they are the same Assembly if you move a part in one it has to move in the other.

Another thing you can try is to promote the
subassemblies to the main assembly and redo the constraints for each
there. If the subassemblies aren't too complicated and you don't mind the
BOM being messed up, then this my be a good way to go.
