(Plus, Autodesk is an official sponsor of FRC, so it is rather awkward when we are asked by an Autodesk volunteer how we drafted the robot, and we mention that we did it through solidworks. XD )

Typically I found it simplest to highlight the hole imported component and right click and fix it in place, maybe not the best method but it works alright.

I could be off here, but isn't Solid Works a sponsor as well?

I know for sure they have in the past. Regardless, #InventorMasterRace
