Hi,
having problem finding a possibilty to position the rod between 3 rollers:
https://cad.onshape.com/documents/41b3f80d53cacaa9f07789b6/w/d120735b5358f0213316e0be/e/19de9eece59803f8999eecb8
I have tried all possible comands. The construction represents an assembly of a linear guiding.
Thanks for help.

The mating strategy in Onshape uses high level mates.
In most cases, you only need 1 mate between each pair of parts.
A part has mate connection points to which are applied mate connectors. A mate defines the degrees of freedom that exist between any two parts (via the mate connector). There are many videos on the Onshape website that show how to mate and this is covered in the overview live training.
Here is a public document showing how to mate this mechanism.
You will see that if you update the shaft diameter, the assembly updates correctly.
Please feel free to ask any questions
