Q : Why was a Mate Connector specifically created in a Part Studio for the Bluetooth Speaker?
A : In the battery(電池) part studio, there was no locating geometry (since the batteries just float in the speaker frame compartment) so one was created using a sketch as a reference to aid in assembly.
Q : What does “Reorient Secondary Axis” mean, and when is it used?
A : It allows a Mate in Onshape to be rotated around its Blue axis. It is used when the part being assembled is not clocked in the correct direction.
Q : What is Snap Mode, and why would it be used?
A : Snap Mode allows parts which are being inserted into an assembly to have a fastened (緊固)Mate be created “on the fly(動態)”. This is particularly(尤其) helpful when assembling hardware(硬件), and can save a lot of time.
Q : When is a Mate Group used?
A : When you want to treat multiple parts as a subassembly, and prevent relative motion
between the parts.
Q : Can replicate(複制) be used to mate across multiple parts, or only to multiple locations on the same part?
A : Across multiple parts.
