I thought I'd try to make something for FS17. I decided to just make something simple, something to attach in the three point hitch. I did as I'd done it in FS15 but wrote new xml-files. I used existing models as references for dimensions. The mod shows up in store and everthing just fine, but it won't attach to my tractors. I tried with another i3d-file (one from my FS15 mod) and it worked just fine, so probably the xmls are ok. All the xml-references to the model is correct but still it doesn't attach. Why?

If anyone knows what I am doing wrong and what it really takes to make something attach I would be greatful.

have you checked the rotation of the attacher joint transform group? It has to be -90 or 90 depending on the direction of attaching

Thanks for taking time Samuel. However, this was not the problem. My transform groups were placed and rotated as they are in the ingame Agco 1500 kg weight.

But when I looked through the i3d-file (again) I noticed that the scale of my transform groups weren´t set to 1 ((x y z) = (1 1 1)), so I opened the "Freeze Transformations" and apllied it with the scale-box ticked to set the scaling to 1. And now it´s working just fine! :)

So if anyone else encounters a similar problem, it might just be that the scaling of the transform groups are not set to 1.
