    Lost Assembly Constraints (mates)

    I hope some one can help me with this one. We currently run MDT 6 and have a few clients with old mdt 4.0 files. When we open any of their assembly files there are not any assembly constraints, none, zip , nada (the parts have full degrees of freedom). We have re loaded mdt 4.0 to see if it is a...
