Hi,
Got a small question (thats why I'm here of course). I'm modeling an oven and trying to do so with the help of subassemblies. I found out though that I can't move a part from a sub-assembly in the top assembly.
The oven consists of an upper and lower part. The upperpart is moved with the help of hydraulic cilinders. I made a subassembly of a cilinder, but when I put them in the 'total' assembly the rod won't move. If I open the piston assembly i can move it up and down the cilinder, but I can't anymore when i'm in the topassembly
Is this normal, and if so is there something i can do to make it work, or am i 'screwed' and do I have to make one huge assembly with all the parts in just to be able to move it all up and down.
Looking forward to any advice,
Stijn Chapelle
This should help you. You can move parts in a sub assembly.
