Assembling according to a coordinate sys
Assembling according to a coordinate sys
(OP)
Hello,
In Solidworks, is there a way to bring parts with a coordinate system into an assembly with a coordinate system and assemble the parts by mating their coordinate system to the assemblies coordinate system?

RE: Assembling according to a coordinate sys
All parts & assemblies have default planes & origins which form the basis of the default coordinate system. Any plane or face can be mated to any other plane or face. Usually 3 mates are required to fully define a component in place.
Are you talking about user defined coordinate systems?

Do you trust your intuition or go with the flow?

If so, mate Front part - front assy, right part - right assy, top part - top assy.

But, this only works if I created the part. Otherwise I have to do alot of work to get the part where I want it. Where with a coordinate system I can place that in the part and assemble the parts by mating the their coordinate systems.
