Can't align nested family to reference line

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm trying to align a nested family to a reference line in my host family so that it rotates around a certain point.

I've created the reference line in my host family, locked the end point to two reference planes and then gave an angular parameter to the angle between the ref. line and the ref. plane.

I then inserted the nested family and aligned it to the ref. line. The problem is that when I flex the angle, i get a "Constraints not satisfied" error..

What could be wrong?

I'm using a generic face based family for both host and nested families...

Thanks

rotate family not that horrible, create as many ref-line and remember, the line end points have to  lock both X&Y ref-plane to achieve "rotate anchor point". then you can create other Ref-line to lock on other line-----then use these methods to control your geometries, plus dimensions locks, you pretty much can control all the movements
