Bob,
Thanks for the reply. With your note and the manual I was able to
transfer the transformer mounting holes to the panel and either make
them remain associated to the xfmer part as it was moved on the panel
surface or unlink them if required. I wrote a step-by-step procedure
as I did this. There are a few things you have to think thru with
each step as the answer will affect the end result. Do you think
something like this would be helpful to post on the site or with
Alibre's site. This type of procedure is not discussed in the manual
and designers in my line of work (electrical/mechanical) use this
quite often.
Thanks again - Jack Maiese
