Assembly Alignment
Assembly Alignment
(OP)
I am modelling a fishing reel for a CAD assignment at university and cannot figure out how to dimension the bail arm so that it lines up with both holes.
I have used a pin constraint to align it with the first hole shown in the second image but am unsure how to adjust the bail arms size so that it will fit into the second hole. I think I may need to use the 'Make Flexible' command but am unsure how to go about doing so.

It doesn't look like you bail arm is even in the same plane. You could try to do a make flexible and point to the angle of the centerline to the second hole but depending on how you made your bail arm (looks like a sweep), you may not be able to pick the dimension to vary. What parts on your assembly are moveable? I'm not too familiar with fishing reels, sorry.
