Here, we will apply the distance and angle mates to create the following assembly. You can download all the indicated parts from the download files that are linked to this chapter:

Note that, in the preceding drawing, the two levers are separated by a set distance of 60 mm. Also, the two levers have an angle of 75 degrees between them. This indicates that we can utilize the distance and angle relations to complete the assembly. To complete this assembly, we need to download the files that are attached to this chapter and open the Lever-Pin Assembly.SLDASM assembly file. The assembly will look as follows. Note that the assembly already has mates that are restraining them. However, we still need to add the distance and angle mates in order to achieve the assembly shown in the preceding drawing. We can move the parts around in the assembly to find out how are they restrained:

Now that we have downloaded our parts, we start applying the mates. We will start with the distance mate.
