tangent mate

Tangent Mate is bistable (and I don't need it to be)
I'm using tangent mate because the two objects make contact at curved points on both parts. The first image is how I'd like it to be mated, but if I click and drag it to the left or right, it will pop over to the other constrained position. I understand WHY it's bistable, I just dont want it to be. Is there another mate I…
Tangent propagation for tangent mate in assemblies only extends to first neighbour??
When I toggle the tangent propagation button, only the first neighbours are accepted. Is this expected? https://cad.onshape.com/documents/b181d39705817b200bf1602b/v/079b90f98c97cdd36aaafb20/e/24bb9164acca20d59274486c?configuration=default&renderMode=0&uiState=664c5d6e684f1d116b1ba851
Mate Matching Surfaces
I would like to mate these two parts so that the surfaces are touching eachother (The parts will be welded). They both have the same radius and should fit together perfectly. Is there an easy way to do that? Or do I have to use the fastened mate? Tangential doesnt work, but I'm unsure if I understand how the function works.

Sliding bolt - can't figure out tangent mate
I figured out how to get a pin to move in a slot using a planar mate and a tangent mate. What I can't figure out, is how to do it on a curved surface. Here's where I am: I can get the green pin to follow the curve on the right. On the left, I cannot figure out how to get the green pin (attached to the green cylinder) to…
Having trouble with Tangent Mate, sometimes it works after a reload, sometimes it doesn't
I'm working on a gear driven linkage for creating a shaking movement. The Tangent Mate in this Assembly seems to be kind of iffy. Sometimes it works fine when I Animate one of the Revolute Mates, and other times I get an error or even worse, a bunch of broken Mates throughout the assembly. Sometimes I can fix it by just…
Barrel Cam, Tangent Mate, Seam from Wrap

So I have to shorten it a bit. This causes a seam that breaks the Tangent Mate on rotation. Is there any way to work around this? I had to make the…
Problem with tangent mate
Hello dear community, In folowing design it does not animate correctly. For some reason the pin going only by half of the ring. Any advice wold be appriciated. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/49687b05001ac414fda4f774/w/93dd33c533a805ec3e93e60b/e/c9d4c909bfe4c023123940b9
