Mates in SW2006
Mates in SW2006
(OP)
To completely locate a round part relative to another round part you need a concentricity mate, a distance (or coincidence mate) and a parallel mate. This is true in SW2005 and sometimes in SW2006. But many times, to get rid of the - sign in front of the part I have to change the parallel mate into a coincidence mate. Has this happened to anyone?

Are you mating Plane-Plane or Plane-Surface or Surface-Surface? Plane-Plane mating is the most robust.
