Attaching an imported drawer pull to its face

RPeM · 13 Apr 2012, 16:26

I imported a drawer pull from a SU 3D warehouse. I copy the drawer pull to my working drawing. I see it. I select it. I select a corner of the base then try to attach it to the drawer face in my model. I get it to the face - it is usually buried in the drawer face. I pull it out on the green axis to the appropriate depth from the face. Looks OK. Every time I let it go it completely disappears. I can't seem to lock it in place. This can't be that difficult. Please help.

Without the model seems difficult to help you
(save as V6 if possible)

Pilou's correct. It's pretty hard to help you without the component to look at and not even a screenshot. That said, I'm going to guess the pull has had some sort of gluing characteristics set that don't correspond to your model setup.

Well, I gave up trying and just made my own pull. Thought I was taking a short cut, but that missed so I'm moving on. Thank you both, nonetheless.
