Thanks for you all looking at this. Like I said, I'm going back and start from scratch on the tutorial later next week when I'm back in town. However, on the current parts/assembly, even after fixing everything (dimension congruity and fully constraining everything) it fails, and I would really...

Here's the package - probably simple answer that I'm overlooking!!

Well I went back resized all the parts and dimensioned, (size and location) everything (I think) and changed the default units to centimeters in the assembly (didn't realize that it would not use the units from the parts. As before, the assembly flops around nicely until I constrain the last...
