They work almost the same, except Mate only constrains the center and the part can freely move up and down, whereas with Insert it is fixed, and can only be adjusted with the offset when you create the Constraint. Instead of using insert we will use Mate. I placed the next part into the model space. If not, select the circle cut-out, or cylinder to insert the part.
Now select the Insert Type, since both parts are round you select each of them and it will insert no problem. Under solution, we want the Flush solution-this way parts will flush instead of face to face. You can now see the selection of the 2 surfaces you want to mate. Click the Mate type, and we’re going to select the 2 surfaces we want to mate to. There are 5 different types of constrains in the Assembly tab: Mate, Angle, Tangent, Insert, and Symmetry. The one we will use first is the Assembly. There are 4 tabs: Assembly, Motion, Transitional, and Constraint Set. The Constrain command is on the Assemble tab, in the Relationships panel.įirst, click the Constrain command and a window will pop up. Once you select the part you want to open, just click anywhere in the model to place it, right click on the part, and ground it so it can’t be moved.Īdd your next part any on screen, we will use the Constrain command to get it in the right spot. I like to start with a central part, which a lot of my parts will constrain to. It will open a Place Component window where you will find the parts you want to assemble. Under the Assemble tab, click Place in the Component panel. Now that we have started a new Assembly, let’s Place our first part. This will start a new Assembly where you can constrain all parts together.
