Constraints

[Anonymous]

A part constrained in a assembly using a single constraint
becomes fixed in position and can not be dragged along that
constrained plain. Is there a fix for this or is it just me

Extremely un-happy with 2008

Hi,
Do you mind sharing your model so we can have a look?

thanks

Is the part adaptive? Have you updated to Service Pack 1? I have no issues
like that. See attached...

Have sp 1 and adaptivity is off. The zip file is
4.5 meg so i cant up-load it. All seem well with
small assemblies

Have you grounded that component, or is it located in another assembly?

Have up-loaded the file to September2007/struc.zip

I think it is a problem with workplains

There is something wrong with Flush 32 and Flush 24.
If I suppress Flush 32 , your Turn Buckel can once again move freely.

Is it a conflict between constraints?

This might not have anything to do with his problem but, in versions past, I remember having some large assemblies where you couldn't drag even unconstrained parts. Especially if there were adaptive parts, even if they seemed totally unrelated to where the problem was happening. I haven't pushed it that far lately. I often found it when I constructed pipe runs from individual components constrained only to the ones they touched. Once you got 50-100 pipes, tees and elbows it would start to bog down until eventually it wouldn't allow anything to be dragged. It seemed to be trying very hard to find a way to mess it up and would occasionally flip part of the piping off in another direction. When you added more constraints to eliminate these potential flips it got better.

I don't know what his assembly looks like but he might try constraining things a little more to eliminate unintended possible movement that Inventor tries to check before it will allow things to be dragged. Unless this problem has been fixed.

I am also having this problem, and it affects any size assembly. When I go to select a part to move it the part does not stay highlighted.

I am using Inventor 11 & 2008.

I think I sent AD a data set at one time and they logged this as an issue.
