Design Table Values
Design Table Values
(OP)
Is it possible for assigned design table values to drive a component mate in an assembly? I would like to create a custom mating distance property in my component and have it 'distance-mated' from a specified plane.

I did something like this nearly 10 years ago using an Assembly Design table, planes, distance mates and In-Contexted parts. Just be sure you understand and know what you have already done if you start in-contexting parts. It can get very complex, very quickly.

RE: Design Table Values
The distance value in a mate is a dimension. It is controllable from the design table. Double click on your mate and you should see it. It works the same as a sketch dimension.
