Best fitting parts

[Alan Lowbands]

Hi,

Could anyone tell me how I can 'best fit' two hole patterns ?

I have a report with the actual hole positions for both parts and need to see if they will go together.
I have drawn out and made both parts but can't find a way to best fit them using constraints.

Any help (as always) would be appreciated.

thanks
Alan

Hi.

Would you share a pictures of what you have and what you're trying to achieve?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.

It's basically two plates with bolts holding one to the other.
I have the positions of the clearance holes and the threaded holes but there are positional errors in both.

what I want to do is model the clearance holes in to a plate. add screws at the reported positions and best fit the two to find the clash positions.
There are 48 holes in each plate so I didn't want to model it up until I found a way to best fit them.

A simplified sketch is attached that hopefully shows what I mean.

regards
Alan
