Example: 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 Entity Mate Type Entity Mate Type Entity Mate Type bushing cylindrical face concentric planar end face coincident face of flat parallel shaft01 cylindrical face concentric planar end face coincident face of flat parallel shaft02 cylindrical face concentric planar end face coincident --- --- 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. bushing01 and shaft01 mate automatically bushing01 and shaft02 do not mate automatically Parent topicMate References Defining Mate References Capturing Mate References from Existing Mates Example: Create Mate References When the Names Match Mate Reference PropertyManager
