![]() ![]() The strange thing is I re-drew it exactly as it was before so I still don't know what was causing the instability.įusion does some very strange things with sketch constraints I've found. In the end I had to just clear out the sketch and re-draw it from scratch which fixed the issue. It took me a few tries of changing the parameter around and rewinding the timeline before I isolated the sketch that was causing the crash. The design had a parameter that controlled the height and shape of a body (basically it allowed me to have one design that could switch between different versions of a part) and when I changed the parameter, it crashed for some reason, even though I had used that design for a long time and never experienced that behavior (and this was a parameter that I changed frequently). To bring that design back to stability I had to do some fancy footwork with the timeline. Just another thing that would be easy, intuitive and reliable in Solidworks and is nigh impossible in have updated to the most current build since but that's not what resolved that crashing issue. I can't use a normal joint because I need to maintain the specific gap between them and regular joints require that the two points mate to each-other. So I guess I have to move both of them? Doesn't that completely defeat the idea of them being rigidly grouped? I could just move both of them anyway, I don't need a Rigid Group tool to be able to do that. The Rigid Group tool seems like it would be perfect for this, but alas, if I apply a rigid group between the two components then move one, the other one does not move with it, even though in the description of the tool it says "The components are treated as a single object when moved.". ![]() ![]() It seems there is no way to achieve what I would like, which is to simply lock two components together (but with space in-between them) the way they would be in the final assembly, but still be able to move them around as one. What's the point of the As-built Joint tool if the relationship breaks any time you move one of the components? It's not really joined then is it? According to the description of the As-built Joint tool, it should constrain the two components' positions relative to each-other, but when I then go to align or move one of them, the other one stays put as if I never made the As-built Joint. ![]()
