How to free mates to allow movement in assembly?
I know this must be a basic question but how do i allow mates or subcomponents in a higher assembly to move?
The hinges in this assembly move freely on there own but when I incorporate them into a higher assembly they lock up. How do I allow them to move according to their mates?

Here is the full solution. When i looked at the assembly i found that the limit angle mate is creating problem. You have mated it in the hinge rather than Header. Maybe this will help.

you should try to use mechanical mates and also instead of mating them just fix them in the position you want.... reply if this helps at all
