Constraining a part in the middle between two adjacent surfaces of the from the same parts

[nathan_m_gardner]

Am I missing something? I have two parts, and I want to constrain one part between two surfaces of the second part. Is this a bug or my lack of knowledge on Inventor 2023?

Welcome to the forum.  Can you share some more detail on what it is you are trying to do?  Maybe share a video or some screen shots of what you are trying to do, and what issues you are seeing?

Hi @nathan_m_gardner, 

I replied to your other post before seeing this one, so there is some info there, but here is a quick video showing how we often do this in Inventor ( I know it seems odd if you come from Solidworks for instance).

In Inventor we just have to create a work plane in the part, and use it ( or an existing plane) for the constraint.

Hope this helps,
Curtis

Hi, you can actually do this with joints. Whilst the command is active, right click and choose 'between two faces.'
