Weldment mates

How do you do a weldment mate? to mate a flat face to a cylinder?
This is to connect cylinder or round  object to a flatplate on a welded part.

In the attachment would need to mate the light blue plate to the darl blue rod and then mate the yellow bearing sleeves to the flat plate.

Thanks

    To mate a cylinder to the flat face you would have to add an offset mate connector to the cylinder part. see pic.

    However I would be adding the cylinders in place in the part studio. I think this would be the best way in Onshape. Keep rigid bodies together in the 1 part studio.image
