instead of using a mate/flush which, as you've said, will need an offset
value, can't an angluar constaint keep them parallel? click both faces and
use 0 deg for flush or 180 for mate - if you need the part to keep its
orientation while being dragged about then use a similar angular constraint
between the origin planes.
hope that helps, Sam

Hi all
I want to constrain 2 parts so that a face of part A is always parallel to a
face of part B. The faces are not aligned with any coordinate system
planes. I need to be able to drag the parts around for conceptual design so
using a constraint with an offset is too slow for making changes.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
Steve
