Mating a part to a sketch in an Assembly

Mating a part to a sketch in an Assembly

Mating a part to a sketch in an Assembly

(OP)
Hi, I am looking to draw a sketch in an assembly used simply as a reference and mate a part to it. I'm looking for a list of commands on how to accomplish this.

Thanks very much in advance,
Tim

RE: Mating a part to a sketch in an Assembly

What have you tried? The usual commands should work.

I am a novice and do not know what the usual commands are. I made a sketch in a part, inserted it into an assembly and tried to mate it to another part. It did not take the mate; I tried it multiple times with different mates.

If your sketch in the part is fully defined to the origin of the part and in a standard plane such as front, you should be able to apply mates to the planes and your sketch will be located where you want.

Remember, first define the problem, then solve it.
