Hello ,
Im kinda stuck on the the whole flexible sub assembly arrangment.
My situation is as follows.
I have design a "garage truck" type tailgate that is a flexible assembly.(works prefectly) But when i insert that assembly into the main assembly and i mate it to the body of the vehicle . It is solid again. It has the flexible sub assembly icon in the tree, but i cant make is move?
Please help.
The main assembly mates would not be affecting the sub assembly flexible mates. I check that even if i bring the sub assembly(tailgate) in to the main assembly (vehicle body). The tailgate is a solid assembly without even mating the tailgate to the body.
It must be something in the options about mate referencing....?
How are you trying to make it move?
By clicking on the sub assembly that is flexible and draging it.
How to assy chain into spracket.
I tried lot but I am not getting properly.
Help me.
Go into options, assemblies and make sure 'Move Components by dragging' is ticked
Unticked this will make your flexible assemblies unable to move when your clicking and dragging to move the part.
Although performance starts to decline with more levels.
PAUL,
How can you manipulate sub more then 1 level deep? I know this is the issue. Is there an option to tick to allow this?

If that option 'move components by dragging' isn't ticked, your components will not move, Try it out.
