Assembly Can't mate get Dimensions off all the parts?

Hi all,

Ok what dumb auto setting did I activate or get turned on in the background.

I usually select a face and ctrl and another and the quick mate tool comes up, all of a sudden if I select a face I get every dimension in the model to appear and can’t mate anything.

Regards,

Jim

I hate to sound like I’m in IT, but have you re-booted your computer since that started?

I see that behavior if I am in an assembly, but have a component selected for editing.

Hi all,

Yeah I shut down Solidworks a half dozen times, it ended up correcting itself, very frustrating to say the least, think next time I will just shut down and reboot the computer, although working remotely is a pain to re-login and all the dual authentication B.S.

At least I know I’m not going crazy, other than being in this profession, LOL

Regards,

Jim
