MATES GOING MAD

Hi Wass

ALL CAPITALS is considered shouting on Usenet, plus it's hard to read. You might get a better response from people didn't do that.

Hi John,

don´t you think it´s legitimate to shout when SolidWorks Corp. delivers such a bull.... and especially when you receive a completely useless help to start from the scratch ???

Isn't that ironic, the missed words of my post make it hard to read too!

Now I'll go and find a blackboard and write 100 times "I must proof read my drivel before I post".

I don't think that is a fix and I don't think you should have to do it.

Can you tell us more about what exactly causes this because we haven't heard about this before and 2007 has been out a while.

Some at our company have seen similar problems with mates flipping between configurations. That is in sp0, haven't gone to sp1 yet. (Don't ask) The "automatic mate solver" flips mates before you have a chance to suppress/check for mates you know are wrong. Pretty much completely frustrating.

Hi,

Yep had same problem, did an Rx and sent to my VAR who sent to Solidworks ,the fix is being implemented in SP2.0. This mate flipping completely messed up all my configurations, I lost a weeks worth of work some of which I am redoing right now.

Stay in 2006 or you will have to make individual assemblies for each configuration, which as i told my VAR defeats the point of configuration creation and management.

Deleting and fixing mates doesn't work I've tried it, what happens is that the orientation of the part is flipped in distance mates in different configurations ,so it doesn't matter whether you rebuild or not , this is a problem with the software not your assemblies.

Cheers Mo.
