Re: Cannot place constrain in Inventor

Seems like the holes in the motor do not align with the holes in the plate. My recommendation is to start a new assembly. Click Place Component and place the motor. Then click Create Component and click the mating surface on the motor. A new sketch will start after you enter the information in the dialog box. Click Project Geometry and project the holes in the motor to the new sketch for the plate. Continue to build the plate. The holes will line up exactly. A word of caution - if the motor is not accurate as some have written - your plate will match the model but not the real thing. Hope this helps.
