After moving an array of pocket holes to the surface of a board component I’m unable move that component without leaving the holes behind. This is such a simple operation I can’t help feeling like I’ve missed some detail. I’m in edit mode on the component so is it a matter of timing or what?

You need to put the holes in while in edit mode, then move the component when not in edit mode.

You are right: you must have missed some detail. Think carefully about each step you take and what is going on at that point, and hopefully it will dawn on you. It is not a matter of timing, except in the sense @Box suggests that maybe you are not operating in the context you think.

These “holes” are really markers where the holes go. Does that matter?

Give us an image so we have some idea what you are doing.

[image] ThunderBill2: These “holes” are really markers where the holes go. Does that matter? Maybe - I’m not really sure what that means. Could you upload the model (though that may not help until the admins get a current issue with uploads fixed…)?

I agree that would be useful but how can I do that? Copy//Paste doesn’t seem to work and I don’t have a web page to which I could refer you…?

In the edit window, the icon of a little bar with an up arrow is the “upload” function. [image] PS: the upload will work, but currently attempts to download the file will cause a not found error. They are working on it…

I found that control but it requires a file to upload. Unless I upload the entire model I don’t have a file. I can do that if you want.

Rats! Due to the current forum problem with downloads, I can’t get your model to examine it. Will keep trying, and hopefully the admins will find the fix.
