I got the orientation that I wanted thanks don't spend more time on that. Unless you discovered a pot of gold!!!Here's a screen shot to make it clear what I'm meaning!!! The tractors will "crawl" up the palm, which is the big round thing in the middle!!
can't thank you enough, for taking the time and making the video!! You were right on in saying that constraining individual bearings is way more that i care about!! Wow learned a ton!!!I took a some more time to go into the assembly in a bit more detail.
Here's a video of that, it may be a bit long winded for some.
by the way, i watched every second of it!!!!!I took a some more time to go into the assembly in a bit more detail.

Do I need to constrain the reference geometry of each new part as I introduce it to the assembly??I just closed with out saving since i didn't want to capture the disarray! It opened fine and appeared to be fine until I "made flexible" Then bearing races lost location!! That appears to me to be an accurate description of the situation at this time!
Also I'm having issues with "swimming displays again!! When I open the original drawing to start assembling the assembly, I tell it to show reference geiomety! When I say "swimming displays" what I mean is that when I attempt to rotate the top ring, which is designed to "rotate" instead of rotating it "swims up and down". At that point everything is on location and in place. If I then hit the "make flexible" button (so it will rotate) then the bearings come apart at that moment!! So obviously I can't "make flexible" I really want to be able to "rotate" as that is major element of the design!!!!
