Actually, the original post was in the General Forum. The thread was moved here.
However, it's a good idea.
Let's see if I can remember. :)

Getting back to the original problem ...

First off TRASH all those files we were working with yesterday. I have no idea how that schmozzle came about but the attached files should stand alone. If they are empty for some reason the assembly file is at https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArMxdUYEh9fKwCyOOEC ... H?e=OvJVcR and the parts file at https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArMxdUYEh9fKwC1fr9E ... J?e=6ZJal5.

Now ... I redid the Local LCSs in the three parts here this morning and appear to have done a better job. I am still trying to get my head around the way these things work. I guess the Penny will drop one day! :roll:

All is not kosher, though! :x When I first inserted the Idler Pillar it refused to move with change in the 'Attachment' parameters. I deleted it from the assembly and re-inserted it. Then it worked. There is something not quite right here and I know now what. :x Some link that only works occasionally, perhaps! :shock: Bah! Computers! :roll:

could be fixed quickly and easily (unparametrically) like this

Thanks for that.
To tell you the truth, I didn't even notice the discrepancy. You must be a teacher! :roll: All that marking! :lol: Isn't it fun! :roll: :lol:
