I recently upgraded to Inventor 2015 and everything was working fine, up until now. I am trying to insert bolted connections using the concentric tool and every time I do it, the preview looks fine. They are all in the correct holes and at the correct orientation. However, as soon as I click ok, the bolts flip to 90 degrees and move so they are no longer even near the holes. I tried to do bolted connections by holes as well, and for whatever reason it wouldn't recognize any of my holes. I did it in a smaller assembly with just one part to test it, and the bolted connections worked fine.
Hi,
Post a screen shot of what you are seeing. What are you connecting with BC? Are the holes already in the parts, and how were they modeled? As holes, or as extrusions?

I originally had them as extrusions that were already in the parts and had this problem. I changed them to holes to see if that would help and it did not have any effect. As I stated previously, it wouldn't recognize them as holes either when I tried doing bolted connections by hole.
