Axial Move Part Problem
Good morning board!
I don't want to distract too much from the planning, but I'd like to bring your attention to the Asm3 Axial Move Parts tool, which I believe is used to move an assembly relative to its parent assembly. While I can edit the Placement properties directly, or use the Placement Task tool, the Move Parts tool is way more intuitive. However, the mover does not always move the selected assembly, but the second-highest assembly in an tree of nested assemblies.
The simplified model tree:
---- Assembly 001
-------- Assembly002
-------- Assembly003
If I move assembly 2 or 3 in this configuration, everything is fine. The position of the selected assembly is modified as expected. However, in the following configuration,
Assembly000
---- Assembly 001
-------- Assembly002
-------- Assembly003
moving assembly 2 or 3 changes the position properties of assembly 1. In effect, both assemblies 2 and 3 are moved.
The same when assembly 4 or 5 is moved in the following configuration.
Assembly000
---- Assembly 001
-------- Assembly002
------------ Assembly004
-------- Assembly003
------------ Assembly005
In all these situations, the position of assembly001 is modified instead of the selected assembly.
Observation: No matter what element (Assembly, Body, Feature) was selected in the model tree when the Axial Move Parts tool was invoked, the Mover showed up at the origin of assembly 1. But when a Origin was selected the mover appeared at the origin of the related sub-assembly. That seemed to do the trick, however still the position of Assembly001 was changed, but not the position of the selected sub-assembly.
By the way: The Transform Task of a Body element works as expected.
Am I missing something here…?
Best Regards
Ulrich
