  You can animate one mate at a time. Right-click the mate in question and select Animate. Adjust the parameters as desired and click the triangular Play icon.

  I don't think so. I don't see that option on the iPhone app at least.

  Use the Group command in the assembly toolbar.

  Also if you have multiple parts that touch each other in one parts studio - you can use "boolean union" (this joins separate parts into one single part).

  But not all mates can be animated, right? For example, tangent mate has no animation. So, any way to animate these?

  Example:

  @vanowm Yes. That has been discussed before. You've got a sphere with a center and a path to use for this.
