Mate with floating offset
Mate with floating offset
(OP)
New to Inventor..
Is there a way to create a mate constraint with a "floating" offset? I want to make one face parallel with another but I want to be able to drag them afterward.

You should be able to get about any motion you need in an assembly.

I hate to compare but in Solid Edge this is called a "Planar Align" with the floating offset switch set.

If you can't figure it out attach your assembly here.

Angle constraint is what I want. Angle constraint with directed vectors at 180 deg. Thanks a bunch mcgyvr!
