Hello,
I am new to soildworks and had a question. I am designing a table with a glass on it. I have created all the parts and assembled everything, however i wish to make it so that the cup can only slide across the tables surface. I have tried mating the cup to the tables surface, however when i move the cup around it can go over the tables edge. I am wondering if there is a way to make it so that it only moves across the top of the table.
I did a simple model based on yours. First, I created tangent planes to the edge of the cup in 2 directions parallel to the table edge.
Control select 2 planes and 2 edges of the table and mate. The width mate (under advanced mates) should be automatically activated. Select free from the constraints drop down menu. Repeat these steps for the other 2 edges of the table.
However, using this method, the cup will still go outside of the fillets. Anyone knows how to limit the mate within the fillets?
