Width Relationship Inquiry

Width Relationship Inquiry

Width Relationship Inquiry

(OP)
Hello all,

I just recently started a position at a new company which uses SE.  I was with a company that was using Solid Works.  So far the swtich over hasn't been too bad.  Most of the stuff is very similar.

There is one command or function that I have not found in SE that SW did quite well.  In the assemble/mate mode I haven't found the "width" mate that SW had.  Is there a similar relationship that SE has?  For those that haven't worked with SW, it allows you to center a part between 2 parellel surfaces.

Thanks!

RE: Width Relationship Inquiry

I don't think so.

Suggest create reference planes in the center of each part and align those.

KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...
