How to constrain between hole centres?

Martin Tofts Jul 19, 2017 6:08 AM

I have two connectors that need to be distanced by their mounting hole centres.

The constraints wont allow anything close to what I want. I've added axes, planes, and nothing seems to work.

In Inventor all you did was grab two centres and added a measurement.

Is there a special way to do this on here?

Hi Martin,
selecting the two cylindrical faces, you should be able to add a distance mate centre to centre.

  Again, Solidworks acted odd. I tried this, but kept getting over constrained errors.
  
  However, I suppressed the other contraints causing problems, then unsupressed them, and 'hey presto' all is good... Go figure...
  
  Thanks.
