Fixing the position of a rail in a stile and rail panel

Anonymous

I am new Fusion user after a 2 year break from extensive use of SW.  I am trying to create a stile and rail panel which will be adjacent to a window, and I would like the panel rails to align with the horizontal window mullions.  The first rail component was created from a sketch associated with a mullion in the model, but I cannot figure out how to align the copied rail to align with the lower mullion.  The planes of each are highlighted in the pic.

 

What command is comparable to a SW symmetric mate?  Any other suggestions on how to accomplish this?

 

TIA.

Can't do much with a pdf.  Posting your file will get you better help.

Joints are used to align components.  The Support & Learning link at the top of forum has videos on how to create joints.

Understood, the next thing I'll work on figuring out is how to post a  link to my project.


Actually, I figured out how to do what I wanted.  First, I aligned the 2 planes in the center of each, then selected the angled rail, selected "Ground".  When the warning popped up about one component having been moved, I selected "Hold Postion".

 

Works for me!


Thanks,
Dan

If you attach the file, we can show you how to use joints to fix the relative positions of each part.
