Using SmartMates

With SmartMates, you can create mating relationships automatically by inferencing the geometry of existing components as you drag new components into the assembly.

Here you create a concentric mate and a coincident mate automatically.

  1. Click File > Open, and open pillar.SLDPRT.
  2. Click Window > Tile Horizontally so you can see the part and assembly windows.
  3. In the assembly window, change the view to Isometric .
  4. Zoom to the hole near the right end of the table.
