Solidworks Assembly is "Stuck"
I made an assembly of a few parts, and I mated them how they should. When I move one part, I need the whole device to move around how it would in real life, but this requires a few parts to revolve/spin about different axes, which seems to confuse Solidworks. Basically the assembly seems "stuck" although the motion I want is totally possible (I can manually set it to this position without problem).
I tried to nudge it and re-mate, and I get this error message. Apparently Solidworks can't "move" my part to position, however it is possible, you just have to twist it around another axis (as defined by a different mate), then it will fit.
Is Solidworks just dumb or is there some ways of getting around this?
