Replicate the Universal Joint Subassembly- Dialog box choices don't match exercise directions

jack_aiello

Hi Support Community,
I am having a problem using the REPLICATE feature with the Universal Joint Subassembly.  The exercise says to choose to Match edge on face  from the pull-down menu, however, my pull-down menu
does not have this option. I tried all three options on my pull-down Match faces on parts, Match faces in features, Match individual faces and none of them seemed to work. I could not get the REPLICATE feature to work so I could not complete the Assembly Exercise. Below is a picture of the step in the exercise and a screenshot from my work.  Below the two pictures are a link to my assignment.  Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jack

Double-check your Fastened mate created in Step 8. Depending on what you snapped the Mate connectors to changes the Replicate options available. The replication is based on how the seed part is mated to the rest of the assembly. Be sure your Fastened mate is attached to the planer faces of both the Center Block and the Bushing.

Thank you Katie! I did Step 8 again and it worked.

I'm stuck on this same step. The instructions I have say to select the instance of the subassembly and then "choose Match individual faces." But I don't get that option in my pull-down menu. I started all over again and redid step 8 carefully. The last part of step 10 didn't quite look like what I have, however; the triad manipulator is not oriented that way, so that may be why I'm getting stuck at step 12.

I am also stuck on this step. When I try to replicate is does not work because it says 'mate to be matched'

I too come to grief at Step 12. I've tried to repeat Step 8 several times, but I can't successfully follow Step 12. I'm beginning to think that it's not me. For one thing, my Graphite Phosphor Bronze Bushing looks different, and it's called a "Bushes" instead of a Bushing.

Here's the bushing from the instructions for Step 8:

Here's my "bushes" as I'm setting my mating connector following Step 8:

My bushing is shorter than the bushing in the instructions; the ventilation holes are closer to the flange. Anyway, here I'm selecting the mating connector in the center block:

And here are my Replicate options as I try to follow Step 12:

If I'm doing something wrong, I'd be grateful if someone would point it out. I'd like to complete the exercise.

@rob_locher I'm having the exact same troubles in the "Introduction to Assebly"-Course. After trying over i managed to reorient the triad manipulator of the Joint Axle Subassembly. I still don't have the Match individual faces as an option. Were you able to fix the issue?
