SolidWorks ?

. I am trying to selct an assembly which is a conveyor . Then select another assembly which is an idler , and place them equisdistant on conveyor. I was trying to pick a start and end point and have Solidworks calculate distance and then place the assemblys automatically, equaly placed on the original assembly. I was trying to do this with vb.net Or .macros or combination. Do you have any ideas or someplace you could point me toward.


Look into advanced mates, "Symmetry" and "Width".

Also, you could use a sketch in the assembly to lay out locations and then mate to the sketch.
