Challenge assembling 2 step Parts.
I don't know how I can bring this ball into its position on the plane shown.
I see this as a challenge of the different assembly workbenches or other functions of freecad, additional wbs or macros...
what works, of course, is manual draft move, but that's not sufficient for such a high-precision part
it is also easier to remodel the sphere in the desired position. but then it's no longer a challenge.

Re: Challenge assembling 2 step Parts.
this is how i created it. it is the level in which the balls lie. the position of the draft working plane is probably not saved in fcstd
Re: Challenge assembling 2 step Parts.
Thank you,
no wonder I didn't know what it is... I lead a simple life without draft workbench

Re: Challenge assembling 2 step Parts.
One more question/comment, please.
Clearly assembling a single ball is not the whole story?
We are talking (looking at your second picture in particular) about a number of caged balls,
all of them in a single plane, that should be assembled as a sub-assembly,
with an angle of this plane as a dynamic value depending on the deflection of the joint?

Re: Challenge assembling 2 step Parts.
if all the balls can be positioned at the same time with a parametric angle of the joint, that would of course be optimal. but that's probably too much work for here

Can you provide the Inner Race without geometry errors?

Re: Challenge assembling 2 step Parts.
It's not a question of "too much work" (and probably it isn't ?)
just that the approach and solution would be different...

here is the source. there are also iges variants contained. it might be more useful

Re: Challenge assembling 2 step Parts.
we could make a part A and a part B out of it
