Interaction of matings |
Scroll |
After applying a positioning mating, objects are automatically moved so that the mating condition is fulfilled (if it was not met before mating was applied).
After applying a mechanical link mating, the objects remain in place (an exception is the cam-pusher mating, in which the objects, if they were not in contact, are automatically brought into contact).
Mechanical coupling matings operate within "boundaries" defined by positioning matings. You can check the effect of matings by moving a component with the mouse in different directions. More details on viewing the work of mechanical connection matings...
During editing of a model there may be inconsistencies in the matings. For example, it may turn out that two positioning matings require different positions of the same component. In such cases, the mating is noted in the Design Tree as erroneous.

Positioning matings may impede the movement of a component in the direction that is determined by a mechanical connection mating. In this case, the mechanical connection mating does not work. An error icon does not appear in the Design Tree. |
