Does SolidWorks have a way to properly constrain a screw to the mating hole with only 1 constraint operation? In Inventor there is an 'Insert' constraint which is equivalent to constraining the screw (or anypiece) to be concentric to the mating hole as well as constaining an edge on the screw to be coincident with the mating face. It constraints 5 DOF of the screw. (The screw is still free to rotate in the hole). I tried to pick an edge on the screw and constrain it to be coincident to the hole edge, but SW would not allow this.

Thanks.
