6. Click Apply in the dialog box or right-click and select Apply from the
context menu to create the first constraint and prepare for another.
7. Orbit your assembly, and select the yellow face of the red part and the
yellow face of the purple part.
8. Click OK to place the constraint and close the tool.
9. Drag the purple part in the assembly. You can see that it is still able
to slide from side to side.
The Flush solution works only on planes and controls the alignment of faces
to one another.
1. Verify that the 2013 Essentials project file is active and then open the
c04-02.iam file from the Assemblies\Chapter​4 folder.
2. Launch the Constrain tool from the Position panel or the marking menu.
3. Set Constraint Type to Mate, and set Solution to Flush.
4. Select the sides of the two components, as shown in Figure 4.4.
5. With Preview on, the components will align. Click OK to create the
constraint.
FIGURE 4.4 The Flush constraint aligns faces.
The simple Mate constraint and its solutions cover the needs of many Inventor
users. To better understand which constraints are missing in an assembly, you
can use the Degrees Of Freedom (DOF) tool.
