Hello all.
I really need help from an expert of community to solve a problem .
I study drawing machine that have various accessories . Position these accessories using common restriction system of the inventor is very time consuming and boring .
Now I dedicated some time to be able to learn iLogic and try to create a rule to automatically constraint these accessories when they are placed on the assembly, however, did not get any result
Points of my problem :
1 - The accessories have already been designed and placed in the center Component -
2 - All accessories are positioned just a form .
3 - I need a rule of iLogic or solution so that when I place these accessories on the assembly, I select the faces and rrestrictions is automatically placed .
4 - I'd to do a similar system "Autodrop" of content center, but it does not need to change your size number, but only create the constraint as selected face.
5 - I attached a picture for you to understand what I would like to execute automatically
Someone, please, help me solve this problem. I count on the community.

You might want to look into iMates. iMates are basically half a constraint saved in each part, which can then find each other when placed in an assembly together. If I am understanding your request correctly, they are the most likely thing to get you what you are looking for.
The iMates actually work when we want to constraint "parts in parts", however these accessories need to be constraint in an assembly.
Works like that: I do an assembly using multiple parts (we call structure)
Then I do another assembly and insert that structure.
Then I put the accessory, but that iMates I created in the parts of the structure do not work when in subassemblies.
Do you understand?
Yes, I understand - I just didn't realize that there was a subassembly involved.
I suppose you could create those iMates on the subassembly instead of at the part level, and then it would work. However, depending on how many different versions of the subassembly you have, that might not be practical.
