slider mate

I get this error message when trying to insert a sub assembly into my main assembly. Why is it happening and how can I stop it happening?

I'm going to try to keep this short. I designed a Hydraulic cylinder for a job I'm doing, it has a 4" stroke, and I'm wondering if there's any way I can make it automatically return to a resting position at 2" after its moved. Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to figure out how to mate a cross beam (a long beam with a cross section of a cross, plus sign, etc...) so it accurately slides in a slightly larger cross cut in a plate. The goal is something that can move up and down, tilt slightly to the left, right, forward and back, but not rotate (although in reality it…

Hi, sorry if a similar question has been posted before. I'm working on a project where I send a vehicle down a ramp and try to stop as close as possible to a target point decided on the day of the competition. I've created the vehicle I plan to use but I'm still designing the ramp in Onshape. One possible issue I thought…

I want to put a mate connector in between these entities in order to make a revolute mate with the center of the cylindrical axle. I was previously using a slider mate in conjunction with a planar mate (mate connector between the angled bar), but the rack and pinion relation doesn't allow me to select slider mates (despite…

I have a linear slide assembly with a slider mate. The slider mate can vary from (say) 10 to 30 mm. I put this into a higher level assembly. I want to edit in context some other parts, but I want to position the slider at (say) an intermediate value of z=12 mm. Can this be done? I can animate between 12.00 and 12.001 mm,…

Does anyone know how to solve the following problem in the simplest way: If we have a cylinder and there is a piston that slides along the axis (with the set mate - slider). How to modulate the number of cylinders and pistons with the help of a linear or circular pattern so that the mate - slider is retained, but that the…

Hello, I have some questions/problems with slider mates. I try to create a shelf of aluminum profiles. The individual shelves should be adjustable in height. For this I tried to attach the shelves to the stands by 'slider mates'. The first slider mate also works, but the others lead to errors or the display of 'red' slider…

Hello How do I reverse the direction of a Slider Mate? i.e. When I create a slider mate, when I tick Limits and enter a value for Z maximum, my part can now slide down the z axis. However it is sliding the wrong direction down the z axis and my two parts are now crashing into each other instead of sliding apart. Negative…
