Tangent mate ER request

Steve Crompton Jul 11, 2018 11:02 AM

To those of us that use tangent mates and the frustrations that come with them. I've just put in an enhancement request ER 1-18309668105 to have an option to add 4 quadrant planes to a round surface such as a piece of tube or wire to enable a much more stable mate.

I've attached a file of what I currently do now, but would like Solidworks to have an option to do this for me automatically.

If you feel this would be of benefit please vote on the ER to help it get heard.

Flipping tangent mates drives me nuts and I'm sure it does you guys too.

Thanks

Steve

We can't vote on it until it turns into an SPR (which they will notify you when Solidworks does that). Once you get the SPR number, then post it here, and we can vote away.

  Hi Dan
  Thanks for letting me know on that. I really do hope that they do turn it into an SPR if only to save my sanity from Tangency
