You know how when you insert a screw (from sworks library) into an assy and it has a autosnap type feature when you hold the screw next to an object, it will snap into the hole flush with surface? I think you can also do it with toolbox. Anyway, if I draw a new screw or some other fastener, how do I make it have this snap type feature when I insert it into an assembly?
thanks
 
The other option is "Mate References"
 
Kris44, Thanks for the tip. Mate references is exactly what I was looking for. It was so simple after you pointed me in the right direction.

thanks again
