Advanced Mates

Advanced mates include limit, linear/linear coupler, path, symmetry, and width mates.

Contents

  • Limit Mates

    Limit mates allow components to move within a range of values for distance and angle mates. You specify a starting distance or angle as well as a maximum and minimum value.

  • Linear/Linear Coupler Mate

    A Linear/Linear Coupler mate establishes a relationship between the translation of one component and the translation of another component.

  • Path Mate

    A Path mate constrains a selected point on a component to a path. You define the path by selecting one or more entities in the assembly. You can define pitch, yaw, and roll of the component as it travels along the path.

  • Profile Center Mate

    Profile Center Mate automatically center-aligns geometric profiles to each other and fully defines the components.

  • Symmetry Mate

    A symmetry mate forces two similar entities to be symmetric about a plane or planar face of a component or a plane of the assembly.

  • Width Mates

    A width mate constrains a tab between two planar faces.
