Sorry about the subject line, couldn't resist...
In Wildifre, I have designed a sheet metal part with a pattern of holes for my PEM standoffs. The hole pattern was created, by chance, on the green side. I now have an assy file with this sheet metal piece and when I do an auto placement of my standoff (align and insert) on the opposite side from the green side (the side I want the standoff on), I get the alignment of the standoff to the face of the green side (more like a mate than an align). I can mate the standoff the way I want, just not by using auto placement. Does the side on which the hole pattern was made make a difference when auto placement is used?
