I'm trying to use fasteners in Assembly 4. I've read the following topics:
- https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=54517
- https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?p=572262
But when I follow the steps, it just doesn't work... Here's how my test project looks like (I'm also attaching it as a file):
As you can see I have a part, an assembly, I've added a link to the part to the assembly, I've created the "Hole Axis", added the bolt. Now the next step should be:
When I try to do that, I select the Bolt, then click the "Place Part" and nothing happens - when I then click the Hole Axis, the only thing that happens is the selection changes from the bolt to the Hole Axis. So the action did not work at all.select that fastener, and click on "Place Fastener" ("Place Part" in new versions) command, and select the "Hole Axis" you created.
The only other thing that happens is a message "Object has MapMode property, you should use that" in the Report view after clicking "Place Part" - not sure if this is even relevant.
This seems to be working for everyone, so I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong, but what?
I've just updated everything to make sure I'm not using a buggy version:
