mate connectors

I want to make the fastened mate connectors after inserting bolts and nuts from standard library invisible. After inserting, the mate connectors are visible by default unlike the other mate connectors. Also, under the feature manager tree, the mates (fastened) all say "Invisible" or click to hide. But they are visible in…

In each of the part studios base_unit and insert_unit I create a mate connector. I use my featurescript with an instantiator to create a…

I'm designing a mechanism including a small R/C servo actuating some kind of trigger : The red hook rotates freely around the bolt at the end of one of its arms and the horn rotates around the servo output axis. No problem for modeling the related mates. But hat I'd like to model is the mate between the horn and the hook,…

I am having a hard time to connect an angle sheet with another sheet metal. I also tried to make helper planes but I dont know how I can access them with the "mate" tool. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/b7a798b9398ad1ddc5f891fb/w/21345690468c23d6707854c4/e/f9545be33ad12c8cbe3cd53a V5 The 2 parts are called…

Hey, So I've built some assemblies and they work fine. The parts have zero freedom in the assembly and are all located as I want them to. Then I put that assembly into a higher assembly and it works, it looks great, everything in the initial instance is in the right place but then I replicate it and the replications have…

I find the mate connectors only useful for assembling parts. But they show up every time and stay visible also after you have mated them in an assembly. So I use "hide all mate connectors" so often, I am starting to wonder if there is a setting that manipulates their behaviour. When I am modeling, and use the assembly tab…

I have an assemby that I want to fasten to another assembly. Can I create a mate connector for one assembly and fasten it to a mate connector in another assembly?

Is it possible to create a mate connector based off another mate connector in assembly? in part studio you could either use a custom feature like multimateconnector or use transform to move and copy the original mateconnector. problem with transform however its no loger linked to the owner part of the original mate…

If some could help me with this or give me a reference document with something similar that would be great. I am trying to make a shape appear wherever I select a mate connector using Feature Script. 

TL;DR: I want to export an assembly so that I can import it to an animation program while retaining mates This at first seems like a silly question to be asking. A few months ago I was working on a project that involved analyzing an assembly I made with OnShape in MATLab's Simulink program. As I was learning to use the…
