How to align two T-sections

How to align two T-sections

How to align two T-sections

(OP)
How do you make two T-sections align parallel to each other given the exact distance are not known?  

RE: How to align two T-sections

Mate constraints.  Can you zip and attach what you have so far?

RE: How to align two T-sections

(OP)
Hypothetically, the distance is not an even number and I am trying to have the two T-sections aligned.  

RE: How to align two T-sections

Simple Mate or angle constraints (either using faces on the parts or their origin planes. But obviously you can't lock them into place until you know where they are supposed to go exactly. So until you know that there is really no need to constrain them. Or partially constrain them in 2 directions until you figure out the 3rd.

Have you had any formal training? I'd highly suggest it as 1 day spent in training can save you weeks of wasting time trying to figure it out yourself.
