Tim, Nick, (Steve?)
I've been trying to get the following two parts to mate together- but have had no luck so far. Okay, it needs a pin or something to hold it there, but I was trying for a basic concentric mate, but can't get Shark to do anything (apart from give me an error, about surfaces needing to be planar).
Can either of you help, or someone else want to chime in?
Fwiw, I can get one basic mate to work- the face to face mate- but that's all.
The two bushes may not be the same diameter (where's the tape measure? - ah yes... they're not. Does that matter? :confused:)

Hi Tom,
Are you trying to align as shown in the pic?
If yes, then one way to do that:- use "Align Faces" and click the inside face of each hole, then use "mate faces" to align the 2 mating faces.

Steve, dunno if you can see this, but here's what I was trying to do (minus pin).
It's taken me a whole day to do what I would normally do in an hour (if I were using Solidworks). But I'm learning- fast.
I'll mention this here, but I'm going to bring the same thead up in the beta section;
Tim, It's somewhat annoying that when a part is imported into an assembly, it comes in as a "part_362062..etc" part rather than the
actual name of that part- which is highly frustrating because I just have to rename the part again. This has got to be a bug, because it is named properly in the layer manager! (see attached pix) :mad:
