Parameters

MateTypeFromEnum

Type of mate as defined in swMateType_e (see Remarks)

AlignFromEnum

Type of alignment as defined in swMateAlign_e

Flip

True to flip the component, false otherwise

Distance

Distance value to use with distance or limit mates

DistanceAbsUpperLimit

Absolute maximum distance value (see Remarks)

DistanceAbsLowerLimit

Absolute minimum distance value  (see Remarks)

GearRatioNumerator

Gear ratio numerator value for gear mates

GearRatioDenominator

Gear ratio denominator value for gear mates

Angle

Angle value to use with angle mates

AngleAbsUpperLimit

Absolute maximum angle value

AngleAbsLowerLimit

Absolute maximum angle value

ForPositioningOnly

True to only position the components according to the mating relationship and not create and return a mate, false to not

ErrorStatus

Success or error as defined by swAddMateError_e

Return Value

To specify a distance mate without limits, set the DistanceAbsUpperLimit and DistanceAbsLowerLimit arguments equal to the distance argument's value.

If MateTypeFromEnum is swMateDISTANCE or swMateANGLE when the mate is applied to the closest position that meets the mate condition specified by distance or angle, then setting Flip to true moves the assembly to the other possible mate position.

To add a mate:

1. Call IModelDoc2::ClearSelection2 before selecting entities to mate.
2. Call IModelDocExtension::SelectByID2 to select entities to mate. 

   If MateTypeFromEnum is swMateCAMFOLLOWER, then use a selection mark of 8 for the cam-follower face.

   If MateTypeFromEnum is swMateWIDTH and uses tab selections, then use a selection mark of 16. If MateTypeFromEnum is anything else, then use a selection mark of 1.

3. Call this method.
4. Call IModelDoc2::ClearSelection2 after the mate is created.

If nothing is preselected, then ErrorStatus is swAddMateError_IncorrectSelections, and nothing is returned.
