SolidWorks Mates Best Practice Tip #2

3:37 'if I do a rebuild right now, it updates. It's not quite what I'm after' What are you after then? You moved a component and after a rebuild the assembly follows the sketch again, what's the problem here? And why do you get a circular reference? You explain it but use the word 'it' a lot and it's not clear to me what you're referring to. The last part, where the whole assembly gets messed up, it's hard to tell what's going on here. Your 3D sketch gets messed up, would that not have happened as well without the mates you added? And just making the right component fixed caused the assembly to be overdefined, how can that be?

With the audio level set to comfortably hear the intro, the content is too quiet to hear. Adjusting it to a level to hear the content blasts you out of your chair when the exit theme plays.

Is this problem something new in 2013? I've created hundreds of hoses and tubing runs like this in SW2010 and 2011 and have never had to mate the hose to the parts. The sketch stays related to the fitting. We even have cylinders you can drag through their stroke and the hose moves with them. Nice video tips!

Mating your relations create unstable assemblies and families.
