I have a hydraulic cylinder assembly with mates defined sothat the rod can move in and out of the cylinder when it is draggedwith the mouse cursor.

If I place this hydraulic cylinder into another assembly as asubassembly, the rod can no longer be moved by dragging it with themouse cursor. Is there a way to do this without dissolving thesubassembly?

Thanks in advance
