Re: Cannot place constrain in Inventor

I first mate the van door motor to the face of the mounting bracket. Then I mate the centerline of one bolt hole to one of the holes in the bracket. Next I try and mate a second bolt hole to the second hole in the bracket except I get an error. What should I do, should I make the holes in the bracket adaptive or what?

Try making them adaptive only if you're interested in having a nice looking assembly. Do not use the adaptive part as a template for making a real plate.

The bolt pattern of the van door motor model provided in the virtual kit of parts is incorrect. Unfortunately, I don't know what the correct dimensions are offhand, nor can I measure one.
