Hi, it seems that solidworks has many more options regarding mates and complex movement mechanism. for example the path mate which is lacking in onshapoe.Are there any plans to implement path mates and increase the usability of mate limits (for example using a face as a limitter)?
thanx

+1 for path mates!
Tangent works for most situations, but you sometimes need to draw fake parts just to simulate a path:

Or the shape just isn't compatable with tangent:
