Assembly mating problem, fixed distance from edge

Recommended Posts

I am making a table whose legs are supposed to be 350 mm away from the edge, no matter the length of the table.

 

Surprisingly, I am having huge difficulties meeting this construction demand.

 

One thing that I tried was using Insert Components -> New Part, and then just sketch a circle on the table, where the circle's center was fixed on a construction line 350 mm away from the edge, and this worked for one leg, but for some strange reason not for the other...

 

Attached are my assembly and the sketch.

 

I hope someone can give me some useful hints here!

 

(By the way, I am playing with the thought of making a new virtual part to solve this, but I should not have to do this, or...?)table.jpg

First of all, an assembly file (*.sldasm) is nothing more than a list of hyperlinks to part (*.sldprt) files and a record of assembly constraints.

An assembly without parts is useless..

 

Simply add a Mate with 350mm offset constraint. Done!
