Constraints ignored?

So, twice I have set up constraint for a part of a somewhat complex assembly. Each time I have saved it.

In neither case was the constraint saved. I am CERTAIN that I did have the constraint accepted, in that I hit the checkmark button, and the window contents were cleared.

It may be that the constraint was impossible, and resulted in an error. But Alibre never mentioned this, it appeared to accept the (possibly bad) constraint. It may well have been OK, since I used an equivalent constraint that worked.

I needed to get it done, so I did the different constraint, and forgot to save a package. Oops....

But the issue has come up several times. I will try to recreate it, but I think it would come up in use for nearly anyone

I know from my experience that Alibre will save bad or conflicting constraints. I'll watch this thread to see if you recreate it and what the circumstances are.
