Assembly - fitting the components together

Lisa Midjo Jan 23, 2017 7:00 AM

I have a screw, a nut and a washer that I want to put together in a size 1 hole. How do I make them all fit together size-wise? Also how do I rotate the different components?

You can add mates to all these parts
Concentric, coincident between holes and faces

In addition to what John posted, you can lock the concentric mates to prevent rotation if you want.

In the Assembly File, RMB on a part and select Move with Triad...

  ...or just click on the bolt head and drag. It will spin it if it's not constrained.
