Spherical and Curvilinear Mates

You can create mates using spherical bodies and surfaces.

You can create mates for spherical bodies with the following relationships:
  • Tangential to nonlinear edges and sketches
  • Tangent to nonplanar surfaces
You can create mates between elliptical, conical, and parabolic edges, sketch entities, and other geometry that are related as follows:
  • Coincident to a point
  • Tangent to a line, circle, cylinder, sphere, or ellipse
