Center Mate with No Surface
I don't have a lot of experience with using mates and fasteners.
I'm designing parts ( 4 sides, 1 top, 1 bottom) for a cube that will be 3D printed. It has 6 open sides that will be covered with a sheet (window) from the inside.
I would like to align the square window part to the middle of the opening and against the inside of the opening. I can't figure out how to place the mate in the center of the sides, since it is not a surface.

When creating a mate connector, there is an option to place it between two entities. This should help for placing it in the middle of each compartment.
