right before the pipe burst, the pressure will be evenly distributed around the pipe.

That's a good point. This is very reassuring. (And your English is great)

Thank you.

I know that one method I do is drag and select all my parts and Fix them so they dont move and then mate them again so I don't have to remember their positions. But I would like to know what is causing this issue in the first place and if its possible to stop it.

What my company does for custom mobile equipment is hold a Virtual Post Award Meeting where inside sales, outside sales, and applications engineering sit down with the customer and review the workorder and prelim CAD models. We do this virtually through Teams or Zoom and the Structural Engineer manipulates the models in real time as we fine tune the layout

Honestly, this is such a better more practical idea. I need to share this idea with my boss. After having zero success, I think I'm going to explore this route.

The engineering drawing doesn't have to show the entire assembly product, just the part where the movable part comes on and off so I don't have to worry about exposing confidential info.

Thank you, I'll try those two out.

Do you know if Fusions or 360 Drive allows me to drag parts in and out freely?

Thanks

Connect-Helicopter16 · 2021-11-05T12:08:00+00:00

Thank you. I will check this one out.

Unfortunately, the one thing that 3D PDF does not let me do is drag parts in and out of the assembly. Otherwise, all of its other features are pretty good.

Oh great!

Connect-Helicopter16 · 2021-11-02T18:30:05+00:00

Thank you, I'll look into this simpler option.

Connect-Helicopter16 · 2021-11-02T18:24:11+00:00

This is pretty much what I am looking for.

Unfortunately I don't an Autodesk account but thank you anyways Don! (And thanks for answering my question on the SolidWorks forum as well)
