but... when I try to use Axial Alignment constraint things do not behave as expected?
i.e.
instead of:
What am I doing wrong, please?
I can reproduce the problem. It may fail or not depending on whether to select the box face first or the cylinder face. And when it is not moved correctly, there may either be warning message about redundant constraint or error message about inconsistent constraint. I think the problem is caused by the initial position of the parts being too far apart, and the solver is confused about what message to output. As a general 'solution' to this kind of problem, just manually move the parts a bit closer.
Thank you for the confirmation.
That was my understanding as well, but I was beginning to doubt my sanity after questions on the subject on main forum.
