Chapter 14: SOLIDWORKS Assemblies and Advanced Mates
Mates within SOLIDWORKS assemblies fall into three major types – standard, advanced, and mechanical. This chapter will cover the usage of advanced mates within the SOLIDWORKS assembly's environment.

- Understanding and using the profile center mate
- Understanding and using the symmetric and width mates
- Understanding ...
