Hello, I have an assembly consisting of many parts. I designed it using SW 2015-16 Student Edition. When I opened it using SW 2017-18 Student Edition, SW mentioned that some files needed to be updated. I clicked yes. Once the assembly was opened, I could not make the rotational joints to turn anymore. Know how to fix this? Thanks.
Thanks. Will there be a problem if I right clink and hit float for all the components in the assembly?
There won't be a problem, but the Float command only works for the first component inserted into an Assembly, or for later ones inserted by clicking on the green check mark (see #10 at Frequently Asked Forum Questions). It doesn't remove mates.
Are those joints by any chance flexible sub-assemblies? If yes, see #1 at Frequently Asked Forum Questions.
Thanks. Usually that method works but not this time. They are already flexible.
Then I don't know what else to suggest without seeing the files, or at least a screenshot.
Attach your assembly here and end all doubt.
Look in the tree next to the name is there a (F) next to it. If so right click and hit float.
