Hello
I am trying to align two components together by thier axis as seen in the picture attached. The small mounts are to be mated to the face of the large plate at different radii and the rods connecting the rods are to be aligned along thier axis.
I want to align the cylinders together by their axes and mate the mounts to thier respective plates.
Can axes be aligned with a student license of Inventor and if so, how?
Thanks
Hello there,
you can allign them with the "constraint" command.
Oh and there´s no picture attached, add it lateron if
necessary 🙂
Kind regards
Daniel
Using the MATE constraint, hover over the first part so that the axis highlights, then click to select. Then do the same on the second part, click to accept then click APPLY on the constraint dialog.
You have applied a MATE constraint between the two axes. The parts will slide along these axes until you apply additional constraints. You will usually need three constraints to completely constrain a part.
