The shaft's diameter is larger than the hole. Is there a way A4 can tell me the shaft is oversized or the hole is undersized?

Assemby 4 - How do I check if a part fits well?
Hi! Lets say I have this:
The shaft's diameter is larger than the hole. Is there a way A4 can tell me the shaft is oversized or the hole is undersized?

waitanminute ... do you mean that you know that there is a problem, and you want Asm4 to confirm it for you ?

He's not sure which one is correct

There is no collision detection in ASM4 (to my knowledge) - in your example it depends on the functionality of this shaft-hole-pairing, if it will be seen as correct or as a mistake in design.
In case this should be an early indication of a screw fitting - no thread drafted (maybe it never will) only bolt and core hole indicated, everything is ok (assuming diameters are correct).
If bolt shall fit the bore exactly - there is a mistake in dimensioning in one of the two.
If bolt shall not touch the bore (in which situation ever), you have to change a dimension either
The only way to find out, if axes are assigned correct and dimension are as they should: you must have a look on your construction - you can zoom in, zoom out, rotate, change transparency and at least use the measurement tool of Asm4.
From my point of view Asm4 is a very strong tool - and doesn't complain on assembly-situations like your example.
Sometimes in an early stage components doesn't fit exactly, sometimes the are not designed so far (top-down-design) - Asm4 holds it together anyway.
It is always designer's responsibility, what she/he wants FreeCAD/Asm4 to show on the screen
My workflow: create single components in PartDesign and arrange them with Zolko's Assembly4

FreeCAD works pretty well and stable for me !!

Re: Assemby 4 - How do I check if a part fits well?
if you are looking for a collision detection, Asm4 ATM doesn't have it.
I have a collision tool in kicadStepUp wb, but it doesn't work unfortunately with Asm4.

I'm sorry, I was drunk and frustrated. You're right, we need a tool for such functionality. Unfortunately, there are not many people to volunteer for the "we" part. Which could be seen as an excuse for the "frustrated" part.
