If you haven’t released your left mouse button, right-click on one of the mates that’s created and select Flip Mate Alignment. If you have let go of your left mouse button (released the part), click the Tab key to flip the orientation.Ģ. If the part flips on you, there are 2 options to fix it:ġ.

Tip: It’s easier when you can see what you’re dragging and what you’re dragging it to, in the same view. To create it, hold down the Alt key, and left-click and drag the circular edge to the edge you want to mate it to. In this scenario, we’ll create a ‘peg-in-hole’ SmartMate, which will result in a concentric and coincident mate. If you prefer to drag your components together and have them magically snap into place, SmartMates is probably more up your alley. The supported mate types are all standard mates (Concentric, Coincident, Equal, etc), as well as some advanced mates (Profile Center, Symmetric and Width) and some mechanical mates (Cam and Slot). Simply hold down Ctrl and select the two entities you wish to mate. Quick MatesĪnother way is to pre-select the faces you’re creating a mate for, without having to be in the Mate menu. In some instances, certain mates will require you to select the mate first, before selecting the entities to mate, such as the Width mate under the Advanced Mates. Tip: Use the Alt key to temporarily hide a face when you need to select through it. If it’s the correct one, press the green check to accept it if it isn’t, select the mate you’re looking for and accept it. Based on the selections, SOLIDWORKS will guess which mate you’re trying to create. Next, select the second entity you want to mate to. It also may turn transparent, if ‘Make first selection transparent’ is turned on the very bottom. Once you’ve selected the Mate feature, you can select the first entity to mate. The first way we learn to mate is with the Mate icon (it resembles a paper clip) in the Assembly menu, on the CommandManager. One of the great benefits of SOLIDWORKS is that there are multiple ways to accomplish the same result, and that also goes for mating! We’ll discuss how we can use the Mates menu, Quick Mates and SmartMates to get you up and running. Congratulations! Once you’ve inserted your components (via ‘Insert Components’, dragging and dropping, etc), let’s move on to mating. So, you’ve successfully learned how to build your part and now you're ready to create your first assembly.
