    Default How create AUTO MATE point in new part ?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Simple, but stumping.

    I've created a generic "control knob" PART.

    I want to designate the hole where the knob fits onto the control shaft as a "concentric auto mate" (so, when the knob is inserted into an assembly having control pots already present in the assembly, the knob centers itself, hole to shaft).

    How is this best accomplished?

    TIA

    I believe this thing I'm searching for is called a MATE REFERNCE.
