Flexible Sub Assemblies in SolidWorks

By default, when you create a sub-assembly, it is rigid. Within the parent assembly, the sub-assembly acts as a single unit and its components do not move relative to each other.
However, you can make sub-assemblies flexible. This allows movement of the individual components of a sub-assembly within the parent assembly.

The most beneficial part of the tutorial was the information to leave the most complex mates to the uppermost assembly possible. I have used flexible mates quite often and have always had problems with angle limits and other "flexible" complex mates in sub-assemblies when they are added to upper level assemblies. Thanks again.

Any tips on what to do if the "rigid" option is grayed out?

Thank you for help, I've almost lost my mind to get that assembly working :)

Thank You Very Much... Very Useful Tutorial ....
Very Nice Presentation with the Right Examples..

[@grantforsythe1280]

Just out of curiosity, why would you use a Limit Angle Mate and not just use collision detection and stop at collision?
