How to align imported (derived) part with domestic one in PART STUDIO?

antun_rosovic

I have a bar with two holes as imported part, a bar with one hole as dometic part and i want to align them so the hole on domestic is concentric with one hole on imported + imported and domestic bars are paralel.
So, first I transform one of them by mate, hole to hole of another one.
Then I have to rotate one of them, but I don't know how to rotate it exactly to be paralel with the other one. I know how to rotate it by hand, but that wa i can not make them exactly paralel.

I know how to do this in assembly, but I need to do it in Part Studio, because I have to edit something else depending on imported(derived) part.

Thx in advance

I use the Point Derive feature for this:

If you need to do this with derived sketches, Transform Pattern will move them:

Moving derived parts are not as intuitive as using assembly mates - But you can try this once you have aligned the holes.

1) Measure the angle between the two faces. write it down

2) Do another transform but select rotate option (not mate connectors) - pick proper axis, type in the above measured angle (may have to switch directions with arrow button).

3) After accepting the transform , verify the angle by measuring again & checking for "0" or surfaces are parallel.

this seems to be the only way to do it. If anyone else has a better method I'd be pleased to hear.

I think if you use the "realign" feature on the mate connectors in your transform you should be able to get them in right location in one step.

Point derive F.S. -  Very handy, Thank you S1mon. You never disappoint.

It could be possible if mate connectors can at least equally distanced each from the other on each part, but what if the bars from the example are not the same length?

I don't understand how to do this.
May you record and post here the video where you import the stick from "to be derived" part studio into "domestic" Part studio and align sticks so the holes are coaxial and the long edges are paralel?
