    sliding mate

    You can do so by creating a couple of configurations where pin would be in two extreme points of the slot. Or use a line between two pionts of the slot and one of the planes of the pin. This will give you sliding direction. Set two limit distances(in advenced mates). Also you need a third mate...

    Size Matters.... especially if you're a saw....

    Here is a solution that can only be applied to a part file: In custom properties create a stock size field that would be driven by nominal dimensions of the part. Make this part a part template and use it for every new part you have to make. One very important thing to keep in mind – you can...

    File Properties

    Check if your linked text in title block says $PRPSHEET and not $PRP. It’s a bit confusing, but $PRPSHEET actually refers to the part / assembly inserted into the drawing, when $PRP – the document you are currently working with, which is your drawing… And how do you link it with quantity?

    Bad Slot, Bad..... No donuts (or Hex Nuts)!

    The easiest way to make a slot on a single part that I found is to use slot under tools- feature palette - palette fetures - machined... There is also a curved slot. For mating you should consider using scetches. I modify the scetch of the slot by adding a couple of points. These new points will...
