Anyone have a simple macro to mate either All parts in a model or a selection of parts to the top, front ,right planes.
All of our larger assemblies are based of a common point or plane set (generally the top, front ,right planes).
i would like to be able to have a macro to automate this...preferably by selection
Kevin,
Does this mate all parts to assembly origin ?
Jed,
Yes it mates every parts origin to the assembly origin.
You could do that, or, add a multi mate folder. Simply hit 'CTRL', select the reference plane/face/point, and select at least 3 faces/planes/points on other parts. Now hit the 'Mate' feature, and all parts will be mated to the same point.
I think this works faster than a Macro if you have < 25 parts.
Not sure, but this might be a fairly new feature.
You can try this one.
Mates all parts in the assembly, just make sure parts don't already have mates
or else it might add them anyway. You can probably modify it for selection use...
Hope this helps!
