Cam Mate Problems

  1. Hi,

    I am having trouble with a Cam Mate. <-- Actually SW2006 SP4.1 is having
    trouble...

    It is a very simple assembly, a plate with a hole, a pin rides inside the
    hole.

    Cam Mate gives the yellow triangle exclamation point error: "The selected
    faces do not form a closed and continuous cam extruded from a single
    profile"...

    Again, it is a round hole 7.5" dia (extrude-cut of a sketched circle) cut
    into a 10.5" square 0.5" thick plate and a 0.260" pin (extruded circle
    sketch) it doesn't get simpler or more continuous... there is a lever arm
    holding the pin, it is free to revolve around, it just will not mate up to
    the round hole! It was originally a closed spline curve and so I went back
    to the simplest form (a circle), and still it does not work...

    It worked in 2006 SP3.1 and doesn't in SP4.1.

    Anyone else seen this or had recent Cam Mate problems?
