Problem aligning 2 parts on solidworks composer

Hello

 

I would like to align 2 parts on solidworks composer (screw / nut for example and I specify that the nut is fixed in my drawing)

I use the "align" function (line/axis to line/axis) and everything seems normal (I followed the procedure well

and the tutorials that can be found on the net) but just when the parts should line up, the screw aligns with the axis of the nut,

and the nut also moves, it makes the same movement as the screw.... (translation of the screw = translation of the nut) so my parts don't

never align !!!

What can be done to prevent the two pieces from moving???

 

Thank you in advance!

Arno

Hello

It looks like a graphical bug, did you try to restart after posting the screw and saving?

It seems to me that it's not a bug, I just restarted and everything is still wrong... On the other hand, the part I want to leave in place, I can put it back thanks to the "restore neutral position" function. But that doesn't explain why it shifts following the translation of the screw....

Thank you all the same

After several tests, you should not select 2 pieces, but only the part you want to move. Then you just have to select the Align function, then the starting axis and finally the reference axis.

Here is if it can help!!

And yes, the selection is a constraint of the positioning axis on the receiving part
