Learn how to apply a path mate and show the options for this mate in SOLIDWORKS. Quick Tip presented by Dane Potter of GoEngineer. See more at: www.goengineer....
what kind of line did you draw for your path? I am doing something similar, but I used a construction line. When I go into the assembly file, I can not select the construction line for my path line. thanks, great video
Hi, my part cant seem to follow my path accordingly. I wanted a screw to follow a specific arc that i sketched, but instead it restricted itself to the whole circle of the arc. I dont know how to limit it within the arc without using angle limit. Please help.
Hi Aerospace Engineering, The sort of behavior you describe is that of a coincident mate rather than a path mate. Did you use the 'Selection Manager' of the Path Mate definition to select all the entities that you wish to have your screw follow?
Hi Adara, No, the path used to create the Path Mate was constructed inside of the slotted part. This is so that the path is readily available in whichever assembly the part is inserted into.
Good job Mr. GoEngineer. I watched other videos and they were hopeless. One the guy was not speaking English to well and the echo was so bad it was doubly difficult to make out what he was saying. The next one, the guy said "Let's go ahead and...." so often it was distracting. The third one, the guy talked so fast and went through the steps equally fast so that one was a waste of time also. Thanks for doing a good job explaining.

Thank you very much. Exactly what I was looking for!

I'm having the same issue, did you ever work out a solution?
You need to go into the sketch and make the sketch visible so that you can see it when you are in your assembly file

amazing, thanks
Interesting, would there be an advanced mate to simulate a rolling rubber wheel on a surface?
You might be able to approximate that with a gear mate. However a motion study/animation would probably be more accurate.
Bravo 👏
Excelent video and presentation. Thank you
Thank you! We appreciate you watching.
Thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Great video!!!!! Thank you sweetie 🥱🥱🤫🤫🧏♂️

Thanks
thank you very much in deed bro
