Mate and Flush constraint

dig in to constraints more specifically. Earlier in the course while we were learning about assemblies you saw constraints in the browser, and in the last movie you even created a couple. Now we're going to drill in and look at how to create all kinds of different constraints, but we're going to start with the Mate and Flush constraint. On the screen you see the universal joint.iam you can notice that the universal shaft is here in the browser. If we click the plus symbol you can see the components that make up that assembly. Along with that what I did is created a universal shaft start.iam. It's just the components that make up that assembly, and I put them into an assembly already so that we can focus very clearly on how to create Mate and Flush constraints. If you don't have that open, go ahead and open it now, and let's go ahead and begin creating constraints. To create a constraint you need to go to the Assemble tab under the Relationships panel and select the Constrain option…
