Hello,
I am using an old version of MDT (version 6) and have external step files that I need to implement in my assembly. I can insert step files and save them as dwgs. However if I then insert these files as block, the surfaces cannot be used to geometrically constrain this inserted part wrt my assembly (1 was not a part/subassembly).
I also tried to attach the external part rather than inserting it but no luck either. I tried exploding it and then make a block again but this did not work.
I already tried to look in the search function of this forum but was not lucky. Maybe I was not looking with the correct key words?
I hope you can help me. I don't need to change the external parts, I have to move them to the correct places and would like to use 3D constraints.
Thanks a lot
Thomas
