Polar Coordinate (Radial) Limits for Planar Mates

b_armstrong657b_armstrong657 Member Posts: 2

The option to use a radius as limit in planar mates. In other words the distance between the two mates referenced by the planar mate. Or the distance between the Z axes of the mates for parallel mates.

It probably doesn't show up much, but is a great quality of life feature. Since the current work around is to construct two cubes. Connect them to their respective parts using cylindrical mates. Subsequently mating them cubes with a shaft mate, the shaft mate receives a distance Limit.
This workflow feels 'hacky' at best, and is computationally far more intense.
