Hi everyone,
It's possible with Inventor constraints without additional working geometry?
This is my temporary solution:
PS: I used share sketch instead of visibility because it's visible in the screencast.

A simple mate constraint is all that's needed, assuming that the cone angles are identical. The trick is to choose the conical faces instead of the axes. When selecting the first participant, the axis of rotation is the default; but if you use Select Other, the second choice should be the face itself, and then the second participant selection easily finds the other conical face.
Hope that helps,

THANK YOU!
If you got different angles on the cones... How do you get them to tanget each other?
Hi! In your case, you will have to create an axial Mate constraint and a Tangent constraint. Please share the files here if it does not work. Forum experts can help take a look.
Many thanks!
Thank you for your support!
I made a quite simple assembly to share and explain the problem. One straight cylinder should be tangent inside a cone. A constraint center - center is no problem but then the edge of the cylinder shall be tangent inside the cones face. I can't find any solutions except a lot of work arounds to make these constraints with sketches or distans constraints. Ther must be some simple way to make this.
I´ll attach the files in a zip file.
Do you have any solotions?
Hello Igor!
Thank you for your assembly.
The two parts should be concentric and the cone should have smaller diameter than the axle.
The end of the axle, the edge of it, I want to be tangent at the surface inside the cone.
The only way I found to solve this is with some workaround with sketsches and work point to constranin with.
I changed your parts and assembly a bit and this is how it should be like.
Isn´t there any easyer way to do it?
I attach your files but it´s in 2022version of Inventor.
Yes, there is a simple and reliable way of producing design you are after. It requires using derived components. Can be done with multi-solids as well, but I preferer Derived Components way.
Here is an updated set of files.
Cheers,
Igor.

Hi! I don't think there is a one constraint solution to solve this problem. Another alternative is creating a cone surface in the rod part. The cone surface has the same angle as the other cone face. Then the Cylindrical Face Mate will work.
Many thanks!
