Thank you for the suggestions Duke, I really appreciate them! But I'm still having the problem of constraining.

"inventor_phild", if you would be willing to help me out if I sent you the file, that would be greatly appreciated also! Just let me know how/where to send the file to and I would be very happy if you'd help me with this problem I am having.

Thanks!

Are you sure the bottom of the part is actually flat? Did you CAD it yourself? I know I spent way more time than I'd have liked last year trying to constrain a part that wasn't made in a CAD program and just wasn't quite straight. Have you tried constraining from the origin planes of the object rather than the faces?

[Howard1502]

I did not CAD it by myself, but I have tried work planes, regular planes, original planes, etc. I have tried many things, but it just doesn't seem to be working. It seems like I'm missing something simple, because I feel it shouldn't be this difficult.
Thanks anyways!

Attach the files here - I guarantee there is a problem with the parts. (or you've zoomed in beyond the capabilities of you graphics card.) My bet is on a problem with the parts.

Howard,

If you attach the files there are a couple of us who will look at the issue.
