Hi all -
I am trying to build an assembly to create a realistic chain comprised of several steel circles (like a necklace) - I can assemble these to visually represent what I am after, but what I am trying to do is link these together using mates so that it would simulate the movement and interlock the links. I was thinking that if I could mate the parts using tangency I could get this to work however when I go into my mate dialogue box, no featuers are available to allow this. Is it possible to do? Im thiking there must be a way.
Im attaching a component for reference which is simply a circle swept along another circular path to form one piece of the chain.
Thank you -

Hello Lenny,
I'm at home now and don't have SW here, so I can't open your model, but have you checked the Discussions in the "More Like This" section at right to see if some of those will help?
