Mate - Planar Objects Selected To Mate Will Become Coplanar and The Direction

Mate relationships in CAD define geometric constraints between planar or cylindrical objects. Mates make planes coplanar with opposite or same direction normals, align cylindrical centerlines, or fix angles, parallelism, perpendicularity, center distances, or tangency between objects. Common mates are used to assemble components and establish positional relationships for manufacturing.

Mate Planar objects selected to mate will become coplanar and the direction

of the normal's will be opposite to each other


Align Planar objects selected to align will be coplanar but the normals to the
planes will point in the same direction. Centerlines of cylindrical objects will be in
line with each other.
Angle This fixes a constant angle between the two object entities chosen on
the components to be assembled.
Parallel Objects selected will be parallel to each other.
Perpendicular Objects selected will be perpendicular to each other.
Center Objects will be centered between other objects, i.e. locating a
cylinder along a slot and centering the cylinder in the slot.
Distance This establishes a +/- distance (offset) value between two objects
Tangent This establishes a tangent relationship between two objects, one of
which has to be curved such as a free form surface, a circle, a
sphere, or a cylinde
