Mating Tips
Dr Ruth?
Try to use a common mate reference
Long chains of mates take longer to solve
Do not create mate loops:
Do not over define mates:

More Mating Tips
Drag components to test their available degrees of
freedomIf a component is causing problems, it is often easier
to delete all its mates and re-create them instead of
diagnosing each one.
Whenever possible, fully define the position of eachpart in the assembly. Assemblies with many
available degrees of freedom take longer to solve,
and have less predictable behavior when you drag
parts.

Symmetric Mate
Allows two similar entities to be symmetric about a
face or planeFeatures allowed:
Points
Planes or planar faces
Spheres of equal radiusCylinders of equal radius

Width Mate
Centers a tab within the width of a groove
Tab references: (purple)Two parallel planar faces
Two non-parallel planar faces (with or without draft)
One cylindrical face or axis

Linear/Linear Coupler Mate
Used to establish a translation relation between
componentsCan pretty much use any entity to create this mate

Distance With Limit Mate
Limits the movement of a component within a
specified range of travel allowing some freedom ofmovement
Limit mates take longer to solve

Rack & Pinion Mate
Linear translation of one component (the rack)
causes circular rotation in another component (thepinion)
You can mate any two components to have this type
of movement relative to each other. The components
do not need to have gear teeth.

Screw Mate
A Screw mate constrains two components to be
concentric, and also adds a pitch relationshipbetween the rotation of one component and the
translation of the other. Translation of one component
along the axis causes rotation of the other
component according to the pitch relationship.
Likewise, rotation of one component causestranslation of the other component.
