I have sketched two center rectangles on two different parts that need to be aligned. They are not on the same surface nor will they be when assembled. There centers and edges will be aligned as both rectangles are the same size.
How do I align these rectangles without creating an axis in the center of each?
They both have center points but not axis.
I'm finding it challenging to assemble them.
Any ideas?
Amber,
You should be able to align them using their planes. If I had created them I would have had the front and right planes passing through the center of the rectangles. Then I would make these planes coincident in the assembly.
Edit: I just looked back and saw that you were asking about using sketched entities as constraints. If you specifically want to do that, there are several ways. You can use sketched lines in mates, or edit sketched lines in the context of your assembly, establishing relations with edges or sketches in the assembly or another part.
