mate assy'd with sketches?

Yes, you can mate to underlying sketches. I do this all the time. You may also want to apply a filter so you know, for sure, you are picking up a sketch point or sketch entity.

I was trying to mate a sketch from part1 to a sketch from part2....no dice...

I found Mike J Wilsons stuff and dug thru his 'slot cars' technique....gotta mate a sketch to a face...it seems

Thanks for confirming, model looks and works nicely now

Hi WC

You can mate components (ie lines circles) in a sketch in one model to sketches in another part. I use method qutie often when constructing assemblies.

I just made a quick video (10mb)

Excellent, thanks for the input... I still can't get it to mate an arc to a point though... might not be possible, but I'll have to wait til monday to find out :o)

Maybe this will work. Add a point to the arc's sketch and any relations necessary. Then mate the point on arc sketch to the point in other sketch.

Mating sketch points coincident will work as long as the faces that the sketches are on are coincident with each other.

You could also try mating to some added Reference Geometry (i.e planes and axes).
