For God's sake and my sanity, can anyone explain why, after jointing every component within my subassembly, it falls apart when added to its next assembly? I've use joints, as-built joints and rigid groups only to have it come in incorrectly or fall apart when I add motion in the next assembly, or even lock the top assembly from moving! I've wasted so much time having to re-joint the subassembly components within the next assembly.
Also is there a way to add multiple joints to a component? For instance, having a tube t-fitting concentric to two separate tubes. Or having one component rotate relative to a 2nd component but always be parallel (perpendicular, at an angle) to a third component. Editing an assembly Is very difficult if jointed components won't move relative to each other and I'm constantly having to measure and move or "eyeball" and drag. I constantly get "the component already has a joint" and I'm like, "So, give another one". What am I missing?
Yes, I am used to being able to mate multiple parts together relative to other parts and those mates/parts being mirrored, moved, or otherwise relocated with a simple change, without my assembly puking all over itself, so please forgive my frustration. Thanks in advance.
