Example of Mate Reference with Multiple Mated Entities
Components bushing, shaft01,
and shaft02 each have a mate reference
named shaft, defined as follows:
|
|
Reference Entity |
|
Primary  |
Secondary  |
Tertiary  |
|

If bushing is a component of
an assembly, and you insert shaft01
into the assembly, the components mate automatically. However, if you
insert shaft02 into the assembly,
it does not mate automatically with bushing
because their mate references do not contain the same number of entities.
