Have just started with OnShape and Still 'Stupid' …..I am Trying to Create a Frame for CNC Router …. 50 x25 x 2 RHS… Having an External 3mm Radius …. How do I find the Correct 'Mate' surfaces as there are no True Fastened Mating Surfaces ….. I am Retired, so all Very New to me …. :-) :-) :-)
Many Thanks ….

Hey Keith. Welcome to Onshape. I'm guessing you mean that since the pieces are hollow a mate connector won't be available at the center of a piece's end. While selecting a point to place a mate connector on an end, when Onshape 'wakes up' locations to place the connector, hold down the shift key which tells Onshape to 'stay on this plane' and you can then move your cursor to the center which will 'wake up' a connector there. - Scotty
