Smartfasteners aren't?

Am I the only one that has trouble using SmartFasteners?

My primary problem is this....

Take an assembly that consistes of the following items:

Part A
Part B
Part A

Both instances of Part A are to be attached to Part B. When I insert
SmartFasteners into the mating holes between instance 1 of Part A and
Part B, everything works OK. If I try to insert SmartFasteners into the
mating holes between instance 2 of Part A and Part B, then I get no
satasfaction. SWX won't even let me make the selection of the holes, it
highlights the hole, but when I clik, the highlight just disappears.

What's going on here?

One more thing to add to... our office installed the toolbox on our
local drives to avoid network traffic. All computers have the same
installation structure. When someone else in my department opens an
assembly I've created, the get a warning box that SW could not find the
configuration for the bolts I've used. Upon closing the warning box,
the part seems to open normally, but the bolts have changed into the
default generic bolt. The only fix is to manually recreate each bolt
size in the tool box that I use.

SW should be programmed to automatically create the toolbox
configurations as called out on a part.

 

the bolts have changed into the default generic bolt.
