Copied component won't Joint.

brad.bylls — Mon, 23 Jan 2023 22:13:14 GMT

I have created a component and then made a Move/Copy that component.

I then want to create a joint for both components.

It will let me joint the original component but not the copy.

Am I missing something when copying?

Not enough information.

Did you Paste New? Jointing both components, to another? Themselves?

Might help....

I am guessing you accidentally had Body selected, for your Move Object, in your Move Copy. This will create a new body instead of a component which will only allow a one way Joint. Video will show this.

Sorry.
I created the original component.
I then used the move/copy command in the Solid>Modify menu to make copy of
the original.
Then I used the Joint command to constrain the original component to a
point.
That worked just fine.
When I tried to constrain the copied component, I couldn't even select it
to create a joint.

please show your workflow with a video or screencast. I've never seen a case where a copied component cannot be selected for a joint. Are you certain that you are copying the component and not the body, as @jhackney1972 suggested?

OK
Didn't see that it was on bodies.
Changed to component and it works just fine.
Thanks for the help and sorry for the trouble.

That was the problem.
